Custard Fruit Tarts

Liying has been making fruit tarts and bringing them over to my grandma's a few months back.

The tarts were so good I couldn't stop eating them.

Because it was easy to make, I got the recipe from her.

Ingredients for custard:

• 1 tablespoon custard powder (heapful)
• 1 1/2 cup cooking cream
• 2 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

(This makes about 30 small fruit tarts.)


To complete fruit tarts:

• Tarts
• Fruits (Get a variety)

I got my pre-made tarts from Phoon Huat.

Just because tarts are troublesome to make and these taste really nice.

Get a heapful of the custard powder and put in the pot.
It doesn't matter if you put more.

I used measuring cups to get exactly 1 1/2 cups of cream.

Separate the yolks from the whites.
You can keep the egg white for cooking purposes.

Mix all the ingredients together.
I used a whisk because the sugar tends to stick to the bottom of the pot.


When the mixture is well mixed, heat the pot over small fire.
Stir the mixture constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't burn.
(Mine does all the time.)

The custard mixture is ready when the mixture starts to curd.


While waiting for the mixture to cool, cut some fruits.
I would usually get strawberries because the colours make the fruit tarts look vibrant.

Scoop the custard mixture into the tarts.

Decorate the tarts with all the fruits you have got.

Pack the tarts into whatever boxes you have got and give them to friends!

The tarts taste best when chilled!
