Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the mixture for the tart shell

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add cubes of cold butter and, using your fingertips, rub it in till coarse crumbs are formed. Now, gradually add milk (1 tbsp at a time) just until the dough comes together. Flatten the mixture into a large disc and let it chill for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2: Blind bake the tart shells

While the mixture chills, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges to remove excess dough. Prick the base with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming while baking. Now, blind bake (bake without filling) the tart shell for 15 minutes. To prevent the dough from puffing up or shrinking, place a parchment paper on top and place pie weights before placing the tart in the oven.

Step 5: Assemble the Tart

Once the tarts have cooled down and the custard is chilled, it’s time for assembly. Add the custard into the tart shell and spread it evenly. Now, arrange in the sliced and chopped fruits in concentric circles or other rangoli-style patterns. Add edible flowers, crushed pistachios, or mint for a final garnish. Let the tart chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
