Kiwi tartlets
Ingredients
For the pastry:
100 g plain flour
50 g butter
1 1/2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp icing sugar
For the filling:
100 g heavy cream
2 medium eggs
3 tbsp icing sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
To decorate:
3 kiwis
Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
2
Sift the flour in a large bowl.
3
Cut the butter in small cubes, then add it to the flour and rub it in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
4
Add the icing sugar and milk and knead the dough into a ball.
5
Cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6
Transfer the dough to the working surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an approximately 1/4 cm thickness.
7
Carefully roll it around the pin, then line 2 tart tins, pressing gently around the edges and the base.
8
Cover with baking sheet, then fill the tart tins with ceramic baking beans. This will prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
9
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the sheet and ceramic baking beans and bake for a further 5 minutes.
10
Set aside to cool.
11
To make the filling, add the heavy cream to a bowl, mix in the eggs, sift in the icing sugar and add the vanilla essence. Mix well.
12
Fill the 2 pastries with the cream mixture, then bake for 10-15 minutes until the cream is set and firm to touch.
13
Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
14
Decorate with kiwi.
