How to make Raspberry Custard Tart
Crust Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350º F
- Step 2
Begin mixing the flour and butter, salt, and optional splenda until you reach a crumbly consistency
- Step 3
Add the egg yolks and cold water to the bowl and mix the batter until it just begins forming one ball
- Step 4
Using your hands, press the dough against any and all unstuck crumbling pieces
- Step 5
Continue mixing until the dough until it is fully cohesive
- Step 6
Press the ball into a ~1 inch tall disc, and using plastic wrap / saran wrap, cover the disc fully
- Step 7
Place the wrapped disc of tart dough in the fridge for 30 minutes
- Step 8
Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out until it is ¼ inch thick
- Step 9
Place the rolled dough ontop of the tart tin and press it into shape
- Step 10
Poke holes with a fork all along the bottom of the tart
- Step 11
Place pie weights or baking beans across the tart
- Step 12
Bake at 350º F for 20 minutes
- Step 13
Remove the weights and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes
- Step 14
Remove the tart crust from the oven and allow to cool in its pan
Pastry Cream Recipe
- Step 1
Pour the milk into a large saucepan and turn the heat on medium
- Step 2
Mix the milk consistently once every ~20 seconds
- Step 3
Have a large bowl close by with the four cut up tablespoons pieces of butter and vanilla bean paste to pour the finished pastry cream when it finishes
- Step 4
In a medium-sized bowl, add the egg yolks, sugar and allulose (if using), and potato starch and whisk the mixture until the egg yolks turn pale
- Step 5
Once the milk is steaming, pour half of the milk into the bowl with the eggs and vigorously whisk
- Step 6
Pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan and begin mixing with a whisk
- Step 7
Continue to whisk the cream without stopping and ensure that all parts of the pan is reached by your mixing
- Step 8
Eventually the mixture will begin to thicken rapidly, and when this happens continually whisking is extremely important.
- Step 9
Once the mixture reaches a viscosity that you like, pour the cream directly into the bowl with the butter and vanilla bean paste
- Step 10
Vigorously mix the cream until all ingredients fully incorporate
- Step 11
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap / saran wrap, placing the wrap directly in physical contact with the cream and refrigerate for ~1 hour
- Step 12
Remove the cream from the fridge and remove the plastic wrap
- Step 13
Whisk the now gelatonous cream until it softens to a more relaxed cream
Completion of the Tart
- Step 1
With tart crust still in its pan, begin to spread the pastry cream adding ~½ cup at a time
- Step 2
Spread the cream evenly over the tart, continually adding more as needed
- Step 3
Once the surface is flat with pastry cream, garnish the tart with the raspberries
- Step 4
Face the raspberries upwards to allow the tart to hold more
- Step 5
Serve and enjoy!
