Fresh Fruit Tart Recipe
Today, I chose strawberries, kiwi, and passion fruit – but you can use any fruit you like. Everyone will love this tart! Just make sure to chill it in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Ingredients:
For the topping:
Strawberries
Kiwi
Passion fruit
Clear gelatine (to glaze the fruit)

For the custard cream:
2 tablespoons custard powder
500 ml milk
4 tablespoons sugar

For the sponge cake base:
6 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions:

• Prepare the Clear Gelatine (Fruit Glaze):
  Make this first, as it needs to cool before you use it. Follow the instructions on the gelatine package, then set it aside to cool.
• Make the Custard Cream:
  This also needs to cool before using.
  In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of custard powder with a little bit of the 500 ml of milk (just enough to dissolve the powder well).
  Once smooth, add the rest of the milk and 4 tablespoons of sugar.
  Pour everything into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  When it thickens, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
• Make the Sponge Cake Base:
  Separate the egg whites and yolks from 6 eggs.
  Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
  In another bowl, whisk the 6 egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
  Add 2 tablespoons of flour and mix well.
  Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
  Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and mix gently.
  Pour the batter into a greased baking tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  Let the cake cool completely.
• Assemble the Tart:
  Spread the cooled custard cream evenly over the cooled sponge cake.
  Decorate with sliced strawberries, kiwi, and passion fruit pulp.
  Pour the cooled clear gelatine gently over the fruit to give it a glossy finish.
  Place the tart in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Enjoy your delicious and refreshing fruit tart! 🧡
