Ingredients

How to make it

  • CRUST:
  • Combine flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in bowl of food processor.
  • Pulse until blended.
  • Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until moist clumps form.
  • Gather dough into a ball and flatten into a disk.
  • Wrap disk in plastic and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • On lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll dough to an 11" round.
  • Transfer dough to a 9"x1" tart pan with removable bottom.
  • Press dough onto bottom and up sides of the pan.
  • Trim dough level with rim of pan.
  • Refrigerate OR freeze tart shell 10 to 15 minutes as this will firm the dough prior to baking.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or dry beans.
  • Bake about 15 minutes OR until golden.
  • Cover rim of shell with foil if browning too quickly.
  • If center of crust puffs during baking, gently press it down with the back of a spoon.
  • Cool shell in pan on wire rack for about 30 minutes.
  • PASTRY CREAM:
  • In a 2 quart saucepan heat milk to simmering over medium heat.
  • In small bowl whisk yolks and sugar until blended.
  • Mix in cornstarch until smooth.
  • While constantly whisking, gradually pour about half the simmering milk into the yolk mixture.
  • Pour yolk mixture into remaining milk in saucepan and cook, whisking constantly to prevent lumping, until mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute.
  • Boil 1 minute, stirring.
  • Remove saucepan from heat.
  • Stir in butter and lime zest.
  • Transfer pastry cream to a small bowl; cover surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • Spoon pastry cream into baked tart shell and spread evenly.
  • Arrange mango slices on top; place kiwi slice in center.
  • Remove tart from pan.
  • Place tart, still on pan base, on serving platter.
  • If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.

    You know, julia, this would make a fabulous Easter dessert with its yellow and green theme. A few blueberries scattered around might look nice too. Thanks for your five!
