Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
4 large eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups half-and-half
¾ cup 2% milk
¼ cup rum
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg white, beaten until frothy

Steps:

  • Position 1 oven rack in the bottom of the oven and 1 in the middle. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Unroll pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edge.
  • Bake pie crust on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking, combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add half-and-half, milk, rum, and salt; mix on low until incorporated. Mix nutmeg and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Remove crust from the oven and brush with egg white; bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove crust from the oven; increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Carefully pour filling into the pie crust. Sprinkle with spice mixture.
  • Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Move the pie to the middle rack and bake until the middle of the pie is almost set, about 25 minutes. Place on a cooling rack; it will continue to cook after it's taken out of the oven.

Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package puff-pastry (you will have some left over)
Beaten egg, to brush over pastry
Confectioners' sugar
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
3 eggs
3 ounces sugar
1 orange, zested
1 vanilla pod
1/2 pint double cream
Sugar and water for the caramel
3 tablespoons. caster sugar
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • The Case: Roll out the pastry into a rectangle and brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle on some icing sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Tightly roll the pastry, along the longest side, into a sausage roll and slice into discs (about 1-inch thick). With the palm of your hand press down into each disc, then roll out each one into a circle.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of 6 oven-proof glasses with butter, then dip each into a bag of flour so that the flour sticks to the butter and shake off any excess. Put the center of the pastry circles on top of the floured oven-proof glass, and gently press the sides of the pastry onto the side of the glass (it should look a bit pleated). Place the glasses (rim side down) on a tray in a preheated 350 degree F.oven). When they are cooked, take them out of the oven and press the bottom of each pastry case, this will ensure that they have a flat bottom.
  • The Custard: Break the eggs into a mixing bowl with the sugar and orange zest and whisk thoroughly. Scrape out the seeds inside of a vanilla pod and stir this into the egg mixture. Pour the cream into a saucepan and remove from the heat just before it boils. Pour the hot cream into the bowl of eggs, stirring all the time. Then transfer this mixture back to the saucepan, on medium heat and stir continuously until it has thickened.
  • Pour the custard into the pastry cases and let sit to cool.
  • Heat the sugar and water on a high heat until you have a golden caramel. As soon as this is ready, pour a thin layer on top of the custard.;

MANGO CUSTARD TART



Mango Custard Tart image

As I continue to enter dessert recipes from our recent cruise, I am seeing a definite & freq trend for make-ahead combos using fruits w/a custard. This recipe from *Carnival Creations* by Cyrus Marfatia (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines) takes us to the far-eastern cuisines of India, Malaysia & Thailand. Altho the recipe suggests the French influence of Napoleon Brandy, my DH would look upon that as a "sinful waste" & I will use a more std cooking brandy. (Times have been estimated & do not include cooling times) *Enjoy* !
