Instructions

  1. 1

    For crust: Pulse flour, powdered sugar, and cold butter in a food processor until crumbly. Add egg yolk and 1 tbsp ice water; pulse until it clumps. Press into a 9-inch tart pan. Freeze for 30 mins, then blind bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 mins until golden. Cool completely.

  2. 2

    For pastry cream: Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat milk until simmering. Gradually whisk half the hot milk into the egg mixture to temper, then pour everything back into the saucepan.

  3. 3

    Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbling. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Strain into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and chill for 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Whisk the chilled pastry cream to smooth it out, then spread it evenly into the cooled tart shell.

  5. 5

    Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh fruit. Arrange the fruit in concentric circles or decorative patterns over the pastry cream.

  6. 6

    Warm the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of water in the microwave, then pass through a fine sieve. Gently brush the warm glaze over the fresh fruit to give it a professional shine. Keep refrigerated until serving.
