For the shortcrust pastry:
For the filling and decoration:
Delicious homemade tartlets with a buttery, crisp shortcrust pastry base, smooth vanilla custard and colourful seasonal fruit. Made with Gellwe Vanilla Flavour Pudding Mix, these delightful little desserts are easy to prepare and perfect for summer gatherings, afternoon tea or special occasions. Decorate with your favourite fresh fruit for a beautiful finishing touch.
Sift the flour onto a work surface. Add the butter, cut into small pieces, along with the salt and sugar. Chop everything together using a knife. Then add the egg and quickly knead into a dough. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined.
Wrap the prepared dough in cling film and refrigerate until chilled. Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of cling film and use it to line individual tartlet tins.
Prick the pastry bases with a fork. Place the lined tartlet tins in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (conventional top and bottom heat) for approximately 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove the pastry cases from the tins only once they have cooled completely.
Prepare the Gellwe Vanilla Flavour Pudding Mix according to the instructions on the packaging. Wash the fruit and cut it into smaller pieces. Spoon the cooled vanilla custard into the baked tartlet cases, arrange your favourite fruit on top and finish with your preferred sprinkles or a dusting of icing sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Enjoy!
