  3. pour in the custard mixture and stir
  4. keep stirring until it thickens

Tips

  1. For a less messy and easier job, you may want to make dough into small balls of similar size before moulding it.
  2. Surface of custard hardens in quite a short time, sho you may want to prepare the fruits while baking the shells. It is not too late to prepare custard when the shells are ready. This saves time too =D
  3. Fruit tart tastes better when served cold .
