I used ready-made puff pastry (life is just to short to make your own, although it is fun to make), ready-made custard, Total Greek Yoghurt, a vanilla pod, fresh berries and a sprinkling of icing sugar.
Easy Heart Tarts
1. Flour your work surface and roll out a block of puff pastry until it is roughly 3 or 4 mm thick. I sprinkled my rolling pin and surface with icing sugar, but flour would do.
2. Use a knife to carefully cut out heart shapes, approximately 11 or 12 cm high. If you have a cutter, feel free to use that.
3. Score a line into the pastry, following the shape, about ½ cm in from the edge. This will create a lip which will hold in the custard filling.

5. Mix together ½ cup custard and ¼ cup Greek yoghurt.
6. Slice along a vanilla pod with a sharp knife and scrape out all the seeds.
7. Blend the vanilla seeds into the custard mixture.
8. With a teaspoon, gently press down the pastry in the centre of the hearts, leaving a raised edge.
9. Fill the pastry with the custard mixture.
10. Top the custard with berries and once all the hearts are filled, put the hearts back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
11. Remove the pastries from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before sprinkling with icing sugar.
I hope you enjoy these!

ReplyDeleteHi Pia, He didn't only kick me, he had an experimental bite too. This breastfeeding lark is becoming dangerous!

Hi Michelle, thanks for stopping by and I know you will love these tarts :)
ReplyDeleteYou've made your own puff pastry? I'm impressed. I love how the heart has an inner and outer shape to it. I came across another recipe recently that called for a vanilla bean, are they easy to find?
ReplyDeleteI haven't made my own puff pastry for years TB, I have given up on that now, ready-made puff pastry is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHere in the UK vanilla pods are easy to find. You can buy them from the spice shelf of any supermarket.
How cute! I could eat about a dozen right now they sound so good. Loving the heart theme too. Hope wee Cooper is feelign better ;0)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chele and yeah, I think he is feeling a bit better :)
ReplyDeleteNow, these filled hearts look so tasty!! That's a great idea to combine custard &with greek yoghurt & to fill the pastry harts with it! It is a bit lighter that way!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely & very English dessert, I think!! I so love custard too!
What a gorgeous little tart! I love your use of yogurt here, combining it with custard.
