Fruit Custard Tarts (Quick and Easy Dessert Recipes)

This Fruit Custard Tart dessert can be done within 20 minutes. Pretty easy and simple! My lovely daughter has a sweet tooth. Whenever she wants to eat something sweet after dinner, I’d cook this dessert for her if I don’t have much time to prepare something else which is more sophisticated. Kiwi fruit and strawberry are in season in Australia right now. I can get many of them from grocery stores at a very good price. Here I used them to bake these yummy fruit custard tarts.

Ingredients:
1 fat-reduced puff pastry (available at any supermarkets)
1 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
4 strawberries, sliced
5 Tbsp low-fat vanilla custard
1/2 whisked egg

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200C.
2. Defrost pastry at room temperature until soft. Cut into 4 equal squares to fit into tart molds (8.5cm). Trim the pastry with a knife or a pair of scissors. Brush on whisked egg. Use a fork to poke the bottom of the pastry 3 to 4 times. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until brown and crisp.
3. Pour custard into each tart, arrange kiwi fruit and strawberries. Put tarts back into oven and bake for another 5 minutes to warm up the custard. Or enjoy the tarts with cool custard and fruit. Either way would be fine and delicious.
