INGREDIENTS
Directions
-
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in the top of a double boiler off the heat until smooth. Whisk in the flour, then the milk. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon. Pour the filling into a bowl and cover with buttered wax paper. Refrigerate several hours sitting the bowl in a larger bowl of ice cubes or overnight.
-
Line the tart shells with the pasta frolla. Line the bottom of each tart with a sheet of aluminum foil and then top with pastry marbles. Bake in a preheated 425F oven for 8 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove tart shells to cooling rack. Remove marbles and foil. Let cool completely.
-
Divide and fill each tart with the filling. Place an assortment of fresh fruits such as apricots, peaches, cherries, kiwi, over the tarts and glaze with warm apple or currant jelly.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
