Wishing Well Wording 21st

What's better than a fresh fruit tart? Summer allows us to use a lot of great results ... and create, why not a beautiful cake and cheerfully decorated in bright colors! This is why my pie ... with pictures step by step the decoration will be 'very simple and you'll look great ... because the eye wants its part!

Ingredients:
for the pastry (I used a cake pan of 26 cm): 340g flour, 180g of butter, 135 grams of sugar, 3 egg yolks, 1 / 2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt

for cream: 1 / 2 cups milk, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 / 2 vanilla bean or Alternatively, the peel of 1 / 2 lemon

for decoration ... fruit! (See detail below)

1 packet of jelly cake (you can also use only half '... the entire dose is really too much and I always throw away a little bit!)

Procedure:

• Prepare the pastry ... in a blender mix sugar and flour, add egg yolks and the cold butter, diced ... once that the compound will be sandy mix it with your hands (I recommend it ... for a very short time! the pastry is worked very little !)... then cover the dough with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator to rest for half an hour ...


• ... prepare the custard into a bowl, beat sugar, egg and flour and slowly add the warm milk (previously heated half vanilla bean ... or the zest of half a lemon) ... and put everything on fire ... stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it reaches the boil, and then the desired consistency (the vanilla bean and lemon zest then removed from the infusion will be used!)
  
• stretch now the pastry (I, as a photo , help me with a rolling pin to roll it out by putting the pastry between two sheets of parchment paper ... so you do not attack and will be more 'fetch it easy to place into the pan)
  
• position now the pastry into the pan previously greased and floured (I use a cake pan opening and position it on the bottom oven paper ... so it will be more 'easily remove it from the pan and sicumente not attack!)


• the crust will also form an edge the sides (so when the stretch calculated to draw a circle a little more 'off the cake that you will need to be just the edge) ... cut the edge of "balance" with a knife or a serrated wheel (as I did) and prick the bottom with a fork grains (2 photos )


• placed on the pastry a bit 'of baking paper to fill it with dried beans or rice (it will not to inflate the tart in cooking) - 3 photos


• bake at 180 degrees (preheated oven) for about 20-25 minutes until your crust is cooked through and lightly browned ( 4 photos )
  

• get yourself a little 'fruit to make a choice ... I've used this decoration 3 peach halves in syrup , about 250 grams of strawberries and kiwi 3 and cut as in the photo (left half of the whole fish, cut the strawberries into thin slices and kiwi slices first and then divide each slice into 4 pieces and ... let dry a little fruit on paper towels!

• wait for the crust and cream to cool and then started with the composition ... fill the bottom of the tart with the pastry ( photos 1)


• first place peaches (sufficiently spaced) - 2 photos


• placed the sliced \u200b\u200bstrawberries around each fishing (3 photos ) to form the petals of your flowers ... even overlay some slices (so will have 'an almost 3D and not flat)


• all spaces are completely filled with pieces of kiwi ... will be the "green" backdrop to your "flowers" of fruit (4 photos )


• prepared gelatin as instructed on your bag (in a pot, add 3-4 tablespoons of sugar and 250ml water Bring to a boil and let cool for a few minutes ... ...) and pour it on your cake with the aid of a spoon (5 photos )


• let the pie rest for a few hours in the refrigerator before serving ...
