Custard Fruit Tarts

This dessert is always a winner and it has the best shortcuts! I started using store-bought custard a long time ago and will even use premade graham cracker crusts when I’m short on time. Throw some pie crusts, a container of custard, and your favorite fruit into your shopping cart and voila! You’ve got a masterpiece of a dessert. No matter what I top these tarts with, there are never any left over. Make these all year round using different fruits on the different Yomim Tovim, depending on what’s in season — berries, pomegranate seeds, sliced mango, kiwis, or even mandarins.

Yields 12 to 15 tarts

  4. Press into mini tart pans (with removable bottoms) and bake for 20 minutes.

  5. Let cool, then fill with custard and top with fruit.

  6. For a sweet glaze, combine jam and water until smooth. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the fruit with jam mixture.
