Serves 4
This simple recipe can be used to highlight any fresh, seasonal fruit and is fast and easy to prepare too!
Ingredients:
8 ea. Kiwi, golden, thinly sliced
1 ea. Puff pastry sheet
1 ea. Egg yolk, beaten with 1 tsp. milk
2 Tb. Sugar
1 ea. Vanilla Pudding, packaged
1 c. Whipped Cream, lightly sweetened
4 ea. Mint sprigs, for garnish
Directions:
Cut four 4" rounds from the puff pastry and then bake them off the tartlet shells. First, bruche the pastry rounds with the egg mixture. Using a fork or docker, punch many holes through the pastry rounds. These holes will allow air to escape and will prevent the pastry from rising too much.
Sprinkle the rounds with sugar and bake in a 325F degree oven until golden and crisp for 20-30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Prepare pudding accoridng to directions on the box, except using 3/4 of the liquid. Spread an even amount of pudding over the top of each cooled round. Arrange the slices of kiwi in concentric circles, over the entire rounds to completely cover up the pudding.
To serve:
To serve, place the tartlets on individual serving plates, add a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with mint.
