A refreshing and colorful fruit tart with a buttery crust, creamy custard filling, and a vibrant topping of assorted fresh berries, kiwi, and pomegranate, finished with a glossy fruit glaze.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and cold
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons apricot or peach preserves (for glazing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough forms.
  4. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Prick the base with a fork and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  5. Bake the crust for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  6. For the custard, heat milk, cream, and sugar in a saucepan until steaming.
  7. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and cornstarch. Slowly whisk the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them.
  8. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let custard cool completely.
  10. Spread cooled custard into the tart shell.
  11. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, pomegranate seeds, and kiwi on top of the custard.
  12. Heat preserves until liquid, then brush over the fruit to glaze.
  13. Chill the tart for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the tart crust is completely cool before adding the custard to prevent melting.
  • Glazing the fruit helps preserve freshness and adds shine for presentation.
  • Customize the fruit topping with seasonal fruits for variety.
