Crust
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 stick of butter (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cups of flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda + 1/4 tsp vinegar

  • 1 stick of butter (softened)
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Filling
  • 1 tsp jam (strawberry or preferred flavor) per tart
  • Fresh fruit (kiwi, strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
Preparation
  1. Mix egg yolks and sugar until all sugar is dissolved
  2. Add softened butter and manually mix until combined (do not use electrical mixer from here on)
  3. Add mixture of backing soda + vinegar and mix until combined
  4. Add flour and mix until combined
  5. Now you are ready to start forming the dough in the tart pans (grease the pans). Press into the tart pan such that dough is 1/8 in thick on all sides
  6. Bake them for 375F for 15-20 minutes (until they are golden brown)

Cream: take softened butter and mix well in an electric mixer until it's fluffy. Next, slowly add condensed milk until thoroughly mixed.


Allow the tarts to cool in their pans and then remove them. Spread the jam on each tart, then add the cream. Lastly, add fresh fruit on the top.
