Steps:
- For the tarts: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured work surface, lay out the puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry sheets in half, making 4 rectangles. Place 2 puff pastry rectangles on each sheet pan. Set aside.
- Add the blueberries and strawberries to separate bowls. Divide the granulated sugar and lemon juice between the bowls. Season each with a pinch of salt and stir until well combined.
- Divide the blueberries between 2 of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Do the same with the strawberries and the remaining puff pastry rectangles. Pinch the corners of each rectangle, creating a slight lip. Brush the edges with the cream.
- Bake in the lower half of the oven until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.
- For the whipped cream: While the tarts bake, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft and billowy. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
- Transfer the tarts to a cutting board. Let the tarts cool slightly before slicing approximately 6 times across each tart to create thin slices. Transfer to a serving platter. Scatter the mint leaves over the tart pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve alongside the whipped cream.

Steps:
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and salt on medium speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes. Once combined, add flour and mix on low for 30 seconds. Then, add the egg yolk and mix on low speed for an additional 30 seconds.
- Lightly knead the dough into a ball. Then, press it into a 6-inch disk, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Lightly spray a 9-inch pie shell with nonstick cooking spray and place the chilled dough inside the pan.
- Pinch off pieces of dough and press them against the sides of the pan to reach the top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the dough for 23 to 26 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- To make the filling, heat the milk in a medium pot until just boiling. Then, remove the pot from the heat.
- While the milk is cooling but still warm to the touch, in a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Then, once combined, add a cup of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
- Return the pot to the heat and cook over medium heat, whisking until the cream thickens, about 2 minutes. Then, stir in the butter and vanilla and cook one minute more, whisking constantly.
- Chill until cold (roughly for a few hours in a bow), covered.
- To glaze the fruit, in a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of water over medium heat, whisking, until thin.
- Assemble the tart with the filling, fruit and glaze over the fruit. Serve.
Tips:
- For a quicker baking time, use a pre-made tart shell. Alternatively, to make your own tart shell, consider using a food processor to combine the ingredients, and ensure the dough is well-chilled before rolling it out.
- For a more vibrant filling, opt for ripe and colorful fruits. Softer fruits like berries or bananas can be used, but should be added just before baking to prevent them from breaking down too much.
- To achieve an even bake, ensure the tart is placed in the center of the oven. Additionally, consider using a baking sheet beneath the tart to catch any drips.
- For a glossy finish, brush the top of the tart with a simple syrup or fruit glaze before baking. Alternatively, sprinkle the top with granulated sugar to create a sparkling crust.
- To prevent the tart from becoming soggy, avoid overfilling it with fruit. Additionally, consider pre-baking the tart shell before adding the filling.
Conclusion:
With their vibrant colors, delicious flavors, and simple preparation, these fast fruit tarts are a delightful treat for any occasion. Whether you prefer a classic tart with fresh berries or a more unique combination like peaches and cream, there's a recipe here to suit every taste. So grab your favorite fruits, preheat your oven, and prepare to indulge in a delectable homemade tart that's sure to impress.
