Description

These elegant glazed peach tartlets feature buttery tart shells filled with smooth vanilla pastry cream, topped with golden glazed peach slices and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. A refreshing and visually stunning dessert perfect for summer occasions or teatime indulgence.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons toasted shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar. Cut in butter using fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough forms.
  4. Press dough evenly into tartlet pans and prick bottoms with a fork. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, heat milk until warm. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth.
  6. Slowly pour warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper.
  7. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let pastry cream cool completely.
  9. Fill each cooled tartlet shell with the pastry cream.
  10. Arrange peach slices in a circular pattern on top of the pastry cream.
  11. Warm apricot jam with water in a small saucepan or microwave and brush over the peach slices to glaze.
  12. Sprinkle toasted coconut in the center of each tartlet and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use canned peaches if fresh are not available—just pat them dry before glazing.
  • The tart shells and pastry cream can be made a day in advance and assembled just before serving.
  • Try substituting peaches with nectarines or plums for variety.
