How to Make Raspberry Custard Tartlets

Make the Tartlet Dough

Mix dry ingredients, cut in the butter, and blend with egg yolk and cold water until a dough forms.

Form and Bake Tartlet Shells

Roll out dough, cut circles, fit into molds, prick with a fork, and bake until golden.

Prepare the Custard

Whisk sugar and cornstarch into milk, cook until thickened, then whisk in egg yolks and vanilla off the heat.

Assemble the Tartlets

Fill baked tartlet shells with cooled custard, top with fresh raspberries.

Garnish and Serve

Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or chill until ready.

Baking Tips

Chill the tartlet dough for at least 20 minutes before rolling to make it easier to handle and prevent shrinkage during baking.

To prevent soggy crusts, you can brush the baked tartlet shells with a thin layer of melted white chocolate before filling.

Use the freshest raspberries possible for the best flavor and presentation.

You can prepare the tartlet shells and custard a day ahead and assemble just before serving.
