Kiwi And Mango Tart Recipes

KIWI AND MANGO TART

Steps:

• To make the crust, put the flour in a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix. Using your hands, make a well in the center. Place the butter pieces and egg yolk in the well. Using your fingers, work the butter and egg yolk together until well combined then work the butter-egg mixture into the flour mixture until combined. The dough will be crumbly, but when you squeeze a handful in your hand, it should hold together.
• Sprinkle into a 10-inch pie or tart pan. Press the dough firmly and evenly onto the bottom of the pan. Make ropes of the dough and press them onto the walls, making sure not to let the crust thicken at the corners. It should make a clean right angle where the sides meet the bottom. Chill the crust at least 30 minutes or, covered, up to 3 days.(make ahead and you can always fill later, you can also freeze the crust.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• To make the frangipane filling, in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the almonds and sugar just until sandy. Do not over-process, or the mixture will become pasty. Add the butter and process just until blended. Add the eggs and process until blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the vanilla and flour, and process until smooth (you have just made a frangipane). Spoon the frangipane into the unbaked tart shell. Bake until the crust is golden brown and puffy and the crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Let cool. Spread 3/4 cup apricot preserves on the surface of the baked tart to act as a bed for the fruit. Slice fruit and arrange it decoratively. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup apricot preserves with the water until boiling and smooth. Brush the fruit with the apricot preserves to protect the fruit from drying out and make it glisten.

KIWI STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
• Mix the crust ingredients, using only enough milk to get the consistency you want.
• On a sheet of wax paper, roll the dough out into a large circle. Use the wax paper to gently flip the crust into a 9-inch tart pan. Sprinkle a little flour on the bottom of the crust dough and set aside.
• Combine all cake ingredients, beginning with the dry. Pour cake batter over the crust dough.
• Bake for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the instant pudding and refrigerate.
• Next, wash and chop the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwis.
• Once all components are ready and the crust has cooled to room temperature, you can assemble the tart.
• Use a spatula to smooth the pudding evenly over the cake layer.
• Place the fruit on top in any pattern you like. I typically start in the center and work my way outwards. Finally, sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top of the fruit.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate. It should last a day or two in the fridge.
