Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 12 mini tarts Ingredients for the dough: - 200 g of flour - 100 g of cold butter, cut into cubes - 50 g of powdered sugar - 1 egg - 1 pinch of salt Ingredients for the vanilla cream: - 500 ml of milk - 150 g of sugar - 4 egg yolks - 50 g of starch - 1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 50 g of butter Preparing the dough: 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. 2. Add the egg and mix until the dough starts to form. Do not knead too much; the goal is to achieve a smooth dough. If necessary, you can add a tablespoon of cold water. 3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This step will help firm up the butter, resulting in a crispier crust. Preparing the mini tarts: 4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). 5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut circles from the dough with a diameter of about 7-8 cm. 6. Place the dough circles into the tart molds, pressing gently to fit the shape. You can use a fork to prick the bottom of the tarts, preventing them from puffing up during baking. 7. Bake the mini tarts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until they become golden. Allow them to cool completely before adding the cream. Preparing the vanilla cream: 8. In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil together with the sugar and the split vanilla pod. Once the milk starts to boil, reduce the heat. 9. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the starch until creamy. Gradually add the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. 10. Return the mixture to the heat and continue stirring until the cream thickens. Then, add the butter and mix until fully melted. 11. Allow the vanilla cream to cool completely, then fill each mini tart with this delicious cream. Serving suggestion: For an extra touch of flavor, you can decorate the mini tarts with fresh fruits, such as strawberries or blueberries, or drizzle them with caramel sauce. These mini tarts with vanilla cream are perfect for any occasion, from parties to family gatherings. Possible variations: Instead of vanilla, you can experiment with other flavors, such as chocolate or coffee, to create a unique tasting experience. You can also add some chopped nuts to the dough for a crunchy texture. Now that you have all the necessary details, all that’s left is to start cooking! These mini tarts with vanilla cream will surely be a hit and will turn any meal into a true celebration of flavors.
