Fresh Fruit Tart recipe is a classic French Tart recipe that has a biscuity, crumbly base followed by a smooth custard and topped with fresh seasonal fruits.
Rub the butter, flour and salt together until it resembles a wet sand.
Add the sugar and mix well.
Finally, combine it into a dough by adding the water and vanilla essence. Give it a circular shape pat it down, cling wrap and let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 30 mins.
Roll it out to an even thickness in order to fit the 20 cms tart tin.. Let it rest in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour. (Refer video for exact procedure)
Blind-bake for 20 mins in a preheated oven of 190°C. And then remove the cartouche and bake for another 5 mins. (Refer video for clear picture).
