A tart is usually a baked recipe, consisting of a crumbly firm pastry shell with a sweet, savory, or fruity base. Nonetheless, for a French fruit tart recipe, the 4 essential ingredients include:
- A sweet pastry crust
- The vanilla pastry cream filling
- Fresh fruits
- A tart glaze
Seemingly, most French tart recipes call for berries and fruits on top. I preferred to play the fruit inside.
Drawing everything from scratch is arduous and time-consuming, but it is worth the results. However, for an impatient person like me, things can often spill over. Luckily, I rescued the dessert from falling apart.
I was literally out of my mind (and body) when all at once, I decided to bake this tart. Not out of a great mood but out of frustration.
I set the gelatin to bloom and began curdling the milk. It was the creamiest of cream cheese that I had ever tasted. Even my chocolate ganache was ready. Sigh!
I was almost ready with my fillings when I realized I hadn’t even set the pastry dough.
I opened the cupboard to reach for the Marie biscuit packet. And wow! My biscuit tart shell turned out as an absolute complement to the incredible layers of sweetness.
Making of the crust and filling
This tart cake is the summary of a rich, creamy, chocolaty, and nutty taste at one bite. Like a classic French chocolate tart, it has the lusciousness of chocolate, graced by the tanginess of mango, and at the same time, the sublime flavor and silkiness of cream cheese. Just the right recipe to appease all moods.
For the tart base (or shortcrust), I used a packet of Marie biscuits. You can use any biscuits.
For the filling, I used three layers of cream cheese, mango, and beetroot and white chocolate base. This fresh fruit tart is the ultimate beauty you will ever make.
