Crust and Custard
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Make the Pie Crust
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Custard
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until just boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Assemble the Tart
Pour the custard into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the custard. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
