Mummy didn't want a cake for Mum's Day so I decided to do her a Super Awesome 10 Inch Mega Fruit Tart! This was a recipe I did earlier on, the Mini Fruit Tarts. I'm really pleased at how pretty this looked and how good it actually tasted even though the custard was a lil' on the milkier side!
This took me about 4 hours to bake and put together 2 Super Awesome 10 Inch Mega Fruit Tart but effectively if you're just aiming to get one done, it should take only 2 hours (: Please halve the recipe if you're intending to just bake 1 tart!
I used the oven to bake this tart but I did try the small tarts with my Happy Call Pan and they baked well even though the tart was not totally brown. It also took a lesser time to bake the tarts but the only limitation is that the maximum size the Happy Call Pan can bake is about 5 inches. If you are baking on the Happy Call Pan, bake the tart on medium-low fire on 20 minutes or till pie crust is completely cooked. If you are baking a 5 inch tart, do use tools such as inverted shallow cupcake cups to "prop up" the tart to prevent 'almost' direct contact of heat. This will prevent the base of your tart from burning before it is cooked.
