Ingredients

FOR THE TART CASE

  • 112 gm butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour add more if required

FOR FILLING

  • 1/4 cup raspberries filled
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp corn flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 12 raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  • To make the tart shells, beat the butter and sugar till fluffy. Add the eggs and beat till combined.
  • Add the salt, vanilla and flour. Fold in to combine. If needed, add a tbsp of flour at a time till you get a soft yet slightly sticky dough. I added 1/4 cup flour more.
  • Wrap in a cling film and allow it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Grease a 12 hole muffin pan really well.
  • Take out the dough and divide into 12 equal balls. Divide into each hole and using oiled fingers, press it onto the sides to make it a tart shape.
  • Keep in the fridge for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Poke holes on the tart shells before baking in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • For making the filling, combine the raspberries and sugar in a bowl and allow it to sit for 10 minutes for juices to release. Mash with a spoon and set aside.
  • Whisk together the cream, egg, corn flour, sugar, salt and vanilla till smooth. Set aside.
  • Take out the shells. Spoon equally the raspberry sauce into each of the shells. Then pour the whisked sauce into each of the tarts.
  • Bake for another 20 minutes till set.
  • Take out and allow it to cool for 15 minutes. Try to take out of the pans and allow it to cool completely on a cooling rack.
  • Serve cool topped with a raspberry.
