Steps
- 1
🌻Crust:
Combine flour,sugar, and salt in a food processor.
Cut butter into slices and add to flour mixture, pulsing several times until the mixture resembles oatmeal. Add 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 Tbsp cream. - 2
Pulse until all ingredients are moistened. Then allow the machine to run a few seconds until the dough starts to stick together. (Add additional drops of cream if the dough seems too dry.)
- 3
Press dough into a roll like refrigerated cookie dough. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
Spray molds generously with oil If using silicone molds, no greasing is necessary. - 4
Slice the roll of dough into 13-14 pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap into a circle slightly larger than tart molds. Press into a mold with fingers being careful to keep the thickness consistent. Use a knife to trim off any extra at the top. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, overnight or up to a month.
- 5
Place frozen tart shells on a cookie sheet. Press a small square of foil down into each crust and mold it to the shape of the crust.
- 6
Bake 200°C / 400°F for 10 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until golden brown, usually about 3-4 minutes.

🌻Cream Filling:
Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat just until it starts to steam.
Separately, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a large bowl. You're going to want to whisk really hard until the consistency is thick and creamy.
- 8
Once the milk has just bengan to steam, slowly pour about half of the milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, while mixing vigorously. Leave the rest of the milk in the pan.
- 9
Next, add the thickened egg mixture back into the pan with the rest of the milk. Again, whisk vigorously, for 2 to 3 minutes, while continuing to heat the mixture gently over medium heat, until the pastry cream is quite thick.
- 10
Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla transfer the pastry cream to a bowl, and cover the top of the warm custard with plastic wrap and smooth it to touch the surface. This prevents a skin from forming on top of the cream.
