Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the base:
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 essence of rum
- 1 baking powder
- 5-6 tablespoons of flour
For the cream:
- 1 packet of whipped cream pudding (approximately 100 g)
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 500 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of grated orange peel
For decoration:
- 2 kiwis
- 1 handful of strawberries
- 1 packet of yellow jelly
Preparing the Base
1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the eggs, placing the egg whites in a large bowl and the yolks in another bowl. It’s important to ensure no traces of yolk remain in the egg whites, as they need to be beaten well.
2. Beating the egg whites: Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they become frothy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a firm and glossy foam. This step is essential for a fluffy base.
3. Adding wet ingredients: Incorporate the yolks, oil, and rum essence into the egg white mixture. Gently fold with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture.
4. Incorporating the flour: Gradually add the baking powder and flour, gently mixing until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. It’s important not to overmix to keep the base light.
5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a round baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. To check if it’s done, perform the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the base is perfect!
Preparing the Cream
1. Boiling the milk: In a saucepan, place 500 ml of milk and add the vanilla sugar. Put the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
2. Mixing the pudding: In a separate bowl, mix the pudding packet with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a few tablespoons of cold milk. Mix well to avoid lumps.
3. Incorporating the pudding: When the milk starts to boil, add the pudding mixture and stir continuously. Keep stirring until the cream thickens. Finally, add the grated orange peel for extra flavor.
4. Assembling the tart: Let the base cool completely, then pour the cream evenly over it.
Decorating with Fruits
1. Preparing the fruits: Peel the kiwis and strawberries, then slice or cube them according to preference. Arrange them beautifully over the cream, creating an attractive pattern.
2. Preparing the jelly: Follow the instructions on the jelly packet, mixing with hot water. Pour the jelly over the fruits and let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
Serving
A love tart is more than just a dessert; it’s an experience. Serve it cold, cut into beautiful slices, and don’t forget to give a compliment to those who enjoy it. You can add vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream as a garnish for a delicious contrast with the cream on the tart.
Practical Tips and Variations
- Ingredients: Use fresh eggs for a fluffier base and whole milk for a creamier filling. If you like more intense flavors, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the base mixture.
- Variations: You can experiment with different seasonal fruits, such as peaches, raspberries, or mangoes. Also, replace the jelly with a fruit sauce for a more rustic look.
- Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can the tart be frozen? It is not recommended, as the cream and fruits may lose their texture.
- Can I use another type of milk? Yes, you can use plant-based milk, such as almond or soy milk, but make sure to check the consistency of the pudding.
This love tart is not only an easy dessert to prepare but also a wonderful way to share moments of happiness. So, put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and let your imagination soar! Enjoy!
