Directions
The custard cream:
1. Heat the milk with the vanilla bean, split in two.
2. Mix the egg yolks with sugar until the mixture whitens.
3. Stir in flour and cornflour and add half the milk, stirring with a whisk until the milk cools down a bit.
4. Pour the mixture into the pan with the remaining milk and bring to a gentle boil, constantly stirring. When the preparation thickens, remove from heat, allow to cool, cover with a plastic wrap in contact with the custard, and keep refrigerated.
The crust:
1. Mix flour, sugar, almond powder, and a pinch of salt.
2. Add diced butter and mix with your fingertips until you get a sandy texture.
3. Make a dough, add the egg, and mix by hand without kneading too much. Then form a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes before spreading the dough for the final steps.
The almond cream:
1. Combine almond powder, sugar, and cornstarch, then stir into cooled melted butter.
2. Add rum and the egg. Mix until a homogeneous mixture. Set aside.
Baking:
1. Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C).
2. Spread the pie dough on a floured surface and line the bottom of a tart pan covered with baking paper. Pour the almond cream over the pastry.
3. Blind-bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tart shell is golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
4. Once cooled, pour the custard over the tart shell. Smooth the surface with a spatula and arrange the fresh raspberries on top.
5. Spoon topping for pie or red jelly fruit for a shiny effect!
Note: You can substitute the raspberries with strawberries or other berries!
