Step by step recipe
Stage 1
30 min.
Prepare 400 g Confectioner's custard (Crème pâtissière, or French pastry cream), after leaving the 1 teaspoon tea to infuse in the milk for 5 minutes.I advise you to use green tea, which goes very well with peaches, and is not at all bitter.
Stage 2
Apart from infusing the tea, follow the method for classic confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream). At the end, add an attractive green colour with 5 drops food colouring.Cover and leave to cool.
Stage 3
25 min.
Roll out 300 g Sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) and line your tart tin or mould, then bake the empty pastry case "blind".Stage 4
5 min.
Stage 5
3 min.
Assemble the tart
Spread the green-tea custard in an even layer in the pastry case.Stage 6
5 min.
Arrange the well-drained peach slices on top of the custard.Stage 7
3 min.
If possible, glaze the fruit with a little apricot glaze for a glossy finish. This will also help protect the fruit from oxidation (if you are not serving the tart within a couple of hours).Stage 8
Keep cold before serving.Remarks
You can very the recipe by using a black tea instead of the green, but leave this to infuse for no longer than 3 minutes, or the custard flavour will be too bitter.
