Preparation
Step 1: Preparing the base
1. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is essential to have a clean bowl to achieve perfect egg white foam.
2. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become a thick foam. This process is crucial to ensure an airy base.
3. In another bowl, mix the yolks with sugar and oil. Add the vanilla essence and continue to mix well.
4. Carefully fold the egg white foam into the yolk mixture using a spatula, so as not to lose the air in the egg whites.
5. Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture, mixing gently until homogeneous.
6. Pour the mixture into a rectangular baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 2: Preparing the cream
1. Squeeze the grapes to obtain the juice, then strain it to remove the seeds.
2. In a saucepan, mix the grape juice with the pudding powder.
3. Add the warm milk and stir over medium heat until it thickens.
4. Once the pudding is ready, add the vanilla sugar and butter, stirring until completely melted.
5. Let the pudding cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled base.
Step 3: Assembling
1. Once the base is completely cooled, pour the pudding cream on top.
2. Let the tart cool at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set.
Step 4: Preparing the decorative grapes
1. In a bowl, mix the butter or margarine with coconut, powdered milk, and powdered sugar until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
2. Form small balls from the mixture and place a cranberry in the middle of each ball to mimic the seeds.
3. Roll the balls in the remaining coconut for a more attractive appearance.
Step 5: Serving
1. Cut the tart into triangles and decorate each serving with halved seedless grapes.
2. Serve alongside the coconut decorative grapes for an impressive visual effect and a sweet treat.
