Chill Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes

2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter

For the Topping:
Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, mango slices)

1/4 cup (60 ml) apricot jam

1 tbsp water

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tart Crust
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Make Dough: In a food processor, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse until combined. If the dough is too dry, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.

Chill Dough: Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll Out Dough: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the tart pan. Press it into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Bake: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden. Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Pastry Cream

Whisk Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth.

Temper Eggs: Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan.

Cook Cream: Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter.

Chill Cream: Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate until cold.

Step 3: Assemble the Tart
Fill Crust: Spread the chilled pastry cream evenly into the cooled tart crust.

Arrange Fruits: Decoratively arrange the fresh fruits on top of the pastry cream.

Step 4: Glaze the Tart
Make Glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water over low heat until melted and smooth. Strain if necessary.

Brush Glaze: Gently brush the glaze over the fruits to give them a shiny finish.

Step 5: Serve
Chill: Refrigerate the tart for 30 minutes before serving to set the glaze.

Slice and Enjoy: Serve and savor the fresh, creamy, and fruity goodness!
