Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding mix (instant)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, mango)
- 0.25 cups apricot jelly
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg yolk and cold water to the mixture. Knead gently until it comes together into a dough. Do not overwork. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles slightly larger than your tart molds.
Press the dough circles into the tart molds, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake the tart shells in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let them cool completely before filling.
Prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Allow to set for about 5 minutes, then spoon the pudding into the cooled tart shells.
Decorate the tarts with an assortment of sliced fresh fruits. Arrange them creatively for a visually appealing result.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the apricot jelly with 1 tablespoon of water until it liquefies. Use a pastry brush to lightly glaze the fruits on each tart for a shiny finish.
Refrigerate the tarts for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy your Mmm Jelly Fruit Tarts!
