Shortcrust:
- 140 g flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 75 g butter cold
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
Creme bruleé filling:
- 100 ml milk
- 125 g cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp starch
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 2 hands raspberries or other fruit of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla flavour
- 30 g brown sugar
Mix well all the ingredients for the shortcrust and knead them to a smooth dough. Form a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to rest for minimum an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius or 355 degrees Fahrenheit.
Start to heat the milk in a saucepan. In the meantime whisk together cream, vanilla aroma, white sugar, starch and eggs. When the milk is boiling, puor the egg mixture into the milk and let it boil for another 2 minutes.
Form 10 circles out of the chilled shortcrust and put them into greased fireproof tartelette forms or muffin forms. Fill the tartelettes with some raspberries or other fruit.
Pour the creme bruleé filling into the little tartelettes with a little milk pot until they're almost full.
Let the tartelettes bake for 40- 45 minutes until golden brown and let them cool completly.
Put some brown sugar on the top an caramelize it with the aid of a bunsen burner. Do this just before you enjoy them to create the ultimate crispy crust.
