Peach Tart

First, we take care of the cream that will give our cake a perfect flavor. We start by putting 400 ml of milk in a pot over medium heat, making sure not to leave it unattended to avoid burning. While the milk reaches the boiling point, we focus on preparing the yolk mixture. We mix well until we obtain a fluffy, yellow, and homogeneous cream, whisking the yolks with sugar and vanilla, gradually adding the flour. When the milk starts to boil, we carefully pour it over the yolk mixture, continuously whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling. We continue to mix until the cream thickens and becomes smooth. Once we have achieved the desired consistency, we turn off the heat and let the cream cool, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent a crust from forming.

In the meantime, we dedicate ourselves to the dough. In a large bowl, we put the flour, room temperature butter, baking powder, sugar, eggs, grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. We knead the ingredients well until we obtain a homogeneous and elastic dough. It is important not to rush this step, as proper kneading will make the dough fluffy and tasty. Once the dough is ready, we wrap it in cling film and leave it in the fridge for 40 minutes. This will allow the butter to harden, thus providing a better texture to the cake.

After 40 minutes, we take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a baking sheet, cut to the size of the tray. With the help of a rolling pin, we ensure that the dough is even, without thicker or thinner areas. Once rolled out, we place the dough, along with the baking paper, in the tray and put everything in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. We let the dough bake until it becomes golden and beautiful, about 20-25 minutes. Once ready, we take the tray out of the oven and let the dough cool completely on a rack.

Once the dough has cooled, we carefully remove it from the baking paper and place it on a serving platter. It is the perfect time to spread the cooled cream evenly over the surface of the dough, ensuring that each piece will have a generous portion. We wash the peaches, slice them thinly, and artistically arrange them over the delicious cream according to our preferences. Each slice of peach will add a touch of freshness and a pleasant contrast of textures.

To finish this dessert, we prepare the gelatin according to the instructions on the package, making sure to dissolve it properly. We gently pour it over the peach slices, ensuring that all the fruit is evenly covered. We let the cake sit in the fridge for the gelatin to set. Enjoy your meal!
