A delightful recipe for Strawberry Honey Custard Tarts featuring a buttery crust, creamy custard filling, and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly.
- Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough forms. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and honey over medium heat. Stir until warm but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let it boil.
- Pour the custard filling into the cooled tart crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Before serving, top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with honey.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the crust mixture.
- Try using other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
