Summer Peach Custard Tart Recipes

PEACH CUSTARD TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pulse the flour, almonds, sugar and salt in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough starts coming together.
• Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, pat into a disk and wrap in the plastic. Refrigerate until cold but still malleable, about 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, make your curd filling: Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan and whisk to combine. Stir in the peach nectar, egg yolks and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the filling thickens and coats the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes after it comes to a simmer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, a tablespoon at a time. Strain the filling into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and chill completely, about 1 hour.
• While your filling is chilling, lightly spray four 5-inch tart pans with removable bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Divide your chilled tart dough into 4 pieces, then press into the bottom and up the sides of each prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Use a paring knife to trim any excess dough.
• Place the tart shells on a baking sheet, line each shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and continue baking until the crusts are golden brown all over, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool completely.
• Divide the chilled curd/custard among the tart shells. Put back into the refrigerator while you make the meringue.
• In the meantime, make your meringue: Add the sugar and water to a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then once at a boil, cook for 4 minutes.
• While your sugar is cooking, put your egg whites, cream of tartar and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on low speed. When the sugar mixture on the stovetop comes to a boil, turn the mixer to high speed.
• When the sugar syrup is ready, turn the mixer to medium-low speed. Pour the syrup in a steady stream in between the side of the bowl and the whisk attachment while the mixer is running. Turn the mixer to high and beat for 2 full minutes. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with desired tip.
• Pipe decorative designs with the meringue on the tarts. Use a pastry torch to brown. Garnish with basil leaves and serve.

PEACH AND CUSTARD TART

Steps:

• Start by making the crust. In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars for 5 minutes.
• Slowly add in the flour and salt until just mixed, then form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
• Chill in the refrigerator while you make the pastry cream.
• Add the milk and Simply Pure Coffee Creamer to a pot over medium heat.
• Whisk in the egg yolks one at a time until completely mixed in.
• Whisk in the sugar and then bring to a simmer.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the milk mixture from the pot until there are no lumps.
• Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture back into the pot while whisking until it thickens.
• Cook for one minute, whisking then remove the pot from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's a little larger than your tart pan. You'll want the dough pretty thick, about 1/2″ so you get a nice, thick crust.
• Lightly press the dough into the tart pan, trimming off the edges when you're done.
• Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork so it doesn't rise.
• Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven.
• Fill the crust with the pastry cream and then layer on the sliced peaches.
• Bake for 30 minutes until the peaches are slightly brown on the edges and the pastry cream is bubbling.
• Brush the tops with the jelly and let cool.
• Serve at room temperature or chilled.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

SUMMER PEACH CUSTARD TART

Steps:

• Mix together the graham crumbs, melted butter and sugar well and press into the bottom and sides of an 11 inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 7 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract and egg until the sugar is dissolved. Pour this into the baked shell.
• Thickly slice the peaches into wedges.
• You want to slice the peaches thick so that they stick out of the cream filling. Add only enough of the slices to bring the custard to the top of the pan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees F, until the center is set and jiggly. Cool completely in the fridge before cutting and serving.

PEACH CUSTARD TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Combine butter and 1/3 cup sugar in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add 1 1/4 cups flour and almond extract. Beat until well mixed.
• Press dough onto bottom and up sides of ungreased 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Prick bottom and sides of crust with fork. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove crust from oven; arrange peach slices over hot, partially baked crust.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F Combine all remaining filling ingredients except almonds in small bowl with wire whisk. Pour filling mixture over peach slices; sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake for 32 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is set. Cool completely. Store refrigerated.
• *Substitute 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen sliced peaches, thawed, well-drained. Pat frozen peach slices dry with paper towels thoroughly before placing in tart.
