Tartlets with apricot jam
- 1 square puff pastry
- 12 apricot halves in syrup
- Brown sugar
- 1 jar Bonne Maman Intense Apricot Jam
- 1 egg for glazing
- 25 cl Milch
- 1 vanilla pod
- 50g powdered sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 15g cornstarch
Steps
- Start by preparing the pastry cream. Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Heat the milk in a saucepan with the pod and vanilla seeds.
- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl until white. Add the cornstarch. Pour 1/3 of the milk into the bowl, making sure to remove the vanilla pod beforehand. Whisk the mixture until smooth, then pour in the remaining milk.
- Return the contents of the bowl to the saucepan and heat the cream over low heat. Whisk continuously until the cream thickens.
- Pour the pastry cream into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it cool.
- Roll out the puff pastry into a square with sides measuring 26 cm and cut out 4 squares. Place a layer of pastry cream in the middle, followed by Bonne Maman Intense Apricot Jam. Place the apricots on top.
- Brush the two puff pastry tips with beaten egg using a pastry brush, then fold them into the middle, pressing them together to seal them well. Bake the remaining dough until golden brown and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Bake in the oven at 180 °C for 15-20 minutes.
