Summer fruit tartlets

Serves: 14

2011-08-23

Ingredients

  • 600g fresh fruits and berries (red currants, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, figs)
  • 300g cream cheese
  • 2tbsp lemon curd
  • zest of a lemon
  • 50g chocolate, melted
  • clear glazing jelly

For the pastry

  • 250g plain flour
  • 60g icing sugar
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • zest of a lemon
  • 1 egg yolk

Method

Start by preparing the pastry cases for the tartlets. Put the flour, icing sugar and butter in a bowl and rub together till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the lemon zest and egg yolk and mix to soft pastry. Chill the pastry for 30 minutes and then roll out on a floured surface to a thickness of approximately 3mm. Use a 7cm round cutter to cut out circles in the pastry. Put the pastry rounds into greased tartlet tins and press in well. Bake in the oven at 200`c for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked. Leave the pastry to cool down completely before removing from the tartlet tins. Next, brush the inside of the tartlet cases with the melted chocolate. This will stop the pastry from getting soft in the fridge. While the chocolate sets, prepare the lemon cheese filling by mixing the cream cheese, lemon curd and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Place the lemon cream cheese in a piping bag, and use to fill the centre of the chocolate covered pastry cases. Next, all you need to do is cut up your fruits. Cut the figs into small slices and the strawberries in half. Decoratively arrange a selection of the sliced fruit and berries over the lemon cream cheese using your imagination. Finish off the tarts by brushing the fruit and berries with warmed glazing jelly. Serve the summer fruit tarts chilled.

Torti żgħar bil-frott tas-sajf

Ingredients

  • 600g frott frisk (frawli, tin, red currants, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 300g ġobon artab
  • 2 mgħaref krema tal-lumi (lemon curd)
  • qoxra maħkuka ta’ lumija
  • 50g ċikkulata mdewba
  • jelly trasparenti tal-kisi
  • 14-il forma tal-ħadid

Għall-għaġina

  • 250g dqiq plain
  • 60g zokkor tal-ġelu (icing sugar)
  • 100g butir bla melħ
  • qoxra maħkuka ta’ lumija
  • isfar ta’ bajda

Method

Lesti l-għaġina għat-torti billi titfa’ d-dqiq, iz-zokkor u l-butir fi skutella u ħaddimhom b’idejk sakemm l-għaġina tiġi qisha frak tal-ħobż. Żid il-qoxra maħkuka tal-lumija u l-isfar tal-bajda u ħawwad biex tifforma għaġina ratba. Kessaħ l-għaġina għal 30 minuta. Imbagħad iftaħha fuq wiċċ miksi bid-dqiq, bi ħxuna ta’ madwar 3mm. Uża forma tonda ta’ 7ċm biex taqta’ biċċiet tondi. Idlek il-laned żgħar tat-torti u poġġi l-għaġina. Agħfasha sew fihom. Aħmi t-torti fil-forn f’temperatura ta’ 200oC għal madwar 15-il minuta, jew sakemm issir l-għaġina. Ħallihom jiksħu mbagħad aqlagħhom mil-laned. Wara idlek it-torti biċ-ċikkulata mdewba. Din tgħin biex l-għaġina tagħhom ma tirtabx meta ddaħħalhom fil-friġġ. Sakemm toqgħod iċ-ċikkulata, ħallat flimkien il-ġobon artab, il-krema tal-lumi, u l-qoxra maħkuka tal-lumija fi skutella żgħira. Itfa’ dan il-mili f’piping bag u imla n-nofs ta’ kull torta bih. Imbagħad qatta’ t-tin f’biċċiet żgħar u aqsam il-frawli min-nofs. Żejjen il-wiċċ tat-torti bil-frott li jkollok. Saħħan ftit il-jelly tal-kisi u idlek il-frott bih. Servi t-torti tal-frott kesħin.
