Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Pre-made tart shells
- 3 pieces Ripe peaches
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Vanilla custard (prepared or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons Almond slices
- 6 pieces Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if your pre-made tart shells require baking. Follow the instructions on the package to bake them to a golden-brown finish. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water to create a simple syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the peach slices to the saucepan and cook for 3-5 minutes until they soften slightly but still hold their shape. Remove from heat and set aside.
Evenly distribute the vanilla custard into the baked tart shells, spreading it to cover the base.
Arrange the cooked peach slices and fresh raspberries on top of the custard in an aesthetically pleasing pattern.
Sprinkle almond slices over the tarts for added texture and flavor.
Optional: Garnish each tart with a small mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Peach Melba Tarts!
