Good morning friends,

How are you doing this Sunday? I hope you guys are doing well. Do you have any plan for today? Well, I dont have one :-D Oh actually I have. I'm planning to stay at home, watching movie and just laying around. It's been a quite busy week for me and I need some relax time before starting my routine on Monday.

Yesterday, I made Fruit Tart for my sister in law. She asked me to make a dessert with fruits for her gran's birthday. I added some ginger powder to give kick to the Pâte Sablée (the pie shell) and when it came out from the oven, the ginger smell was quite strong :-D I tasted a bit the raw dough, it was okay. But now I am a bit worried because of the strong smell of ginger. I do hope that they will like it. I am now waiting for the news. I have a good feeling though.

Pastry Cream

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar and cornstarch. Add in one egg and beat them until well mixed.
  • In a saucepan, place the milk and bring it to boil over medium heat.
  • Pour half of the hot milk into the egg mixture, mix it well and then pour it back to the saucepan.
  • Keep whisking until the mixture is thickened.
  • Remove from the heat, add in the butter and vanilla extract. Mix it well.
  • Pour in medium bowl and cover the pastry cream with cling wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Leave it cool in the fridge.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, place the mixed berries jam and water, put it in microwave for about 30 seconds.
  • Stir it until well mixed. You may sieve the mixture but I didn't to that.
  • Set aside.

ASSEMBLING

  • Fill the cooled pie shell with the pastry cream. Using a spatula, smooth it up.
  • Place the fruit on top of the cream. From the outer rim, I started it out with blackberries, blueberries, kiwis, mirabelle plums, strawberries and raspberries.
  • Brush with the glaze.

What do you think about the tart? It's beautiful and so colorful, right? And oh, I am sorry for using both metrics (US and normal metrics), using cups and grams especially to those who dont have measuring cups. I have tried to weigh manually every ingredients that I used in cups so that I can write the recipe with both US metrics and normal metrics. But then, I got distracted and I just lost it. Hope next time I'll do better.

UPDATE

Earlier when I wrote this post, I was worried with the strong ginger smell and I was afraid that it'd be too "spicy". But now I am relieved. I've just received a text message from my sister in law saying that everyone loved it and it tastes as good as it looks. I'm just so happy :-)
