Step-by-Step Instructions for Fresh Fruit Tart
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Add chilled cubed butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in egg yolk and gradually add ice water until the dough starts to come together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the sides. Prick bottom with a fork.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let it cool completely in the pan.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt over medium heat.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Allow to cool and then refrigerate until set.
- Spread pastry cream into the cooled tart shell and arrange fresh mixed fruits on top.
- Heat apricot preserves and water until melted, then brush over the fresh fruit.
- Chill the assembled tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
