Preparation procedure

  • Crisp tartlets Sift the flour into a bowl, add the powdered and vanilla sugar, salt and lemon zest. Work the cold butter into crumbs, finally add the yolks and quickly knead a smooth dough. Wrap and chill for 20–30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Divide the dough into walnut-sized pieces, press into tartlet molds and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden. Let cool briefly in the molds, then turn out and cool completely.
  • Pudding cream From the milk, pudding powders and half of the sugar, cook a thick pudding. Cover with cling film so it touches the surface and let cool. Beat the softened butter with the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy, then gradually beat in the cooled pudding to a smooth cream. Fill a piping bag.
  • Filling and decorating Pipe the cream into the tartlets. Arrange the fruit on top. Prepare the cake jelly according to the instructions and lightly pour over the fruit. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Servings: 24–28 tartlets

Total preparation time: approx. 2 hours 35 minutes (35 minutes of work + 2 hours setting)

Tips and variations

  • You can replace part of the flour in the dough with 50 g finely ground nuts.

  • For festive serving, garnish with a mint leaf or chocolate shavings.
