  • Preparation: 60 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (44.1 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Low carb
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 15 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 4.8 g Sugar
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted, cold
  • 2.7 g Egg yolks, raw
  • 10 g Cream, heavy
  • 0.4 g Cornstarch
  • 0.2 g Vanilla extract
  • 1 g Sugar, powdered

Method

  1. Rub the cold butter into the flour and most of the sugar, add a third of the egg yolk and quickly bring it together into a smooth dough. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. For the vanilla cream, whisk the cream, the rest of the egg yolk and sugar and the cornstarch in a small pan and heat gently, whisking all the time, for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens and just bubbles. Stir in the vanilla, cover the surface and let it cool completely.
  3. Heat the oven to 200°C. Press two-thirds of the dough thinly into a heart-shaped tartlet tin, keeping the rest for the lid.
  4. Fill with the cold vanilla cream, cover with a thin lid of the remaining dough and press the edges together.
  5. Bake on a low shelf for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden.
  6. Let it cool in the tin for a few minutes, turn it out carefully and dust with icing sugar.
