Mother´s day tartes

Foto 4 Tomorrow it´s Mother´s day and when I thought about what I should bake I immediately came up with making mini tartes with berries. I filled them with some yoghurt creme and topped them with raspberries and blackberries.

I guess those tartes are simply perfect for tea and coffee as well. I made these tartes in a muffin tin, but you can also bake them in a large pie mold, it´s less work and definitely easier.

This is what you will need:

Pie crust:

250g flour
100g powdered sugar
115 g butter (room temperature)
1 egg
1 tbs. vanilla sugar
zest of one lemon
a pinch of salt

Put flour, salt, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla sugar and butter on your working surface. Start kneading. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until no butter lumps remain. Add egg and keep kneading until dough is smooth. Roll out dough and cut out circles with a cookie cutter (when you make mini tartes in a muffin pan). Lay them in your muffin tins. Bake in oven (oven temperature 170°) until tartes turn golden brown for about 20-30 minutes.

Filling:

250g plain yoghurt
75g powdered sugar
1/8l heavy cream
juice of one lemon
2 1/2 pieces of gelatine
1 tbs. rum
1 tbs. vanilla sugar

fruit, preferable berries to garnish topping

Mix together yoghurt, rhum, vanilla sugar and icing sugar. Soak gelatine in water and heat it over medium temperature in lemon juice until melted and add to yoghurt. Whip the cream until stiff and fold into yoghurt mixture. Pour yoghurt mixture into tartes and let rest in fridge for a couple of hours. Last but not least garnish with fruit and serve.
