      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Easy and very delicious. Followed recipe as is except for cooking the custard for an extra two minutes but it probably would have been fine after the 7 minutes.
    The pastry is lovely - sweet and very short.
    I sprinkled the custard with a small amount of fresh nutmeg ( can be a bit overpowering) and some cinnamon.
    Thank you - will make again, especially for family gatherings.

  • I have made this numerous times now and everytime...

    Submitted by sazcaz on 24. August 2018 - 14:06.

    I have made this numerous times now and everytime is delicious! I make a large tart and have left overs for smaller tarts as well.

    I use 30g of cornflour only and find it still sets nicely in the fridge (for a large tart) or out of the fridge (small tarts) as they're always gobbled up quickly! I add half a tsp of extra vanilla as my hubby likes a "Vanilla Tart".

    For the small tarts I find it easier just to roll the pastry into a big log and then cut into slices and press the slices straight into the muffin pan. (Instead of rolling it out flat and using a circle cutter.)

    I often double the custard as well as I like to fill them right up! I find 1 hour too long in the fridge to chill the pastry as its so hard to roll. 20mins does the job. I might even try skipping the chilling step and see what happens!

    I learnt the hard way too pour the custard in straight away otherwise even 1 min and it comes out a bit lumpier.

    So no need to finish off in the oven after custard has been added to pastry? Just set in the fridge?

    Delicious & easy

    i may need to practice this one many times - just to perfect it, you know 😉
    My mistake - I made the custard before blind baking the tart cases so it had cooled & hardened before I could put in the cases. Lesson learned 😁

  • I had a fair bit of pastry

    Submitted by bjajun on 15. May 2016 - 14:13.

    I had a fair bit of pastry left and used it make some additional pecan pies as well using Tenina's recipe filling.  I also baked it a little longer than the instructions here, but I think I had mine a little thicker as there was so much pastry.  Beautiful though thank you.

    I made one big tart and I still have some pastry left to make another. Everyone went back for seconds, so a winner recipe! I also added a punnet of cut up strawberries to the custard. Will be adding this recipe to my collection and will definitely be making again. Thankyou
