Plum & Cherry Tart


In America people say that "life is just a bowl of cherries" and probably we should approach it that way. Cherries are my favorite fruit - they appear in the month of my birthday, and have extraordinary hues, they have got just a few calories, in addition to having lots of fiber. I like them big and fleshy, dark and very sweet. With some leftover cherries and red plums I've tried this recipe and I assure you it is delicious!

Ingredients:

  •  1 and 1/2 packet of cookies  
  •   250 g butter, melted
  •   100g Sugar
  •   2 tbsp (tablespoons) cornstarch
  •   3 egg yolks
  •   4 dl milk
  •   2 dl sour cream

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180 º C. Put the dough of butter and cookies in the tart mould adjusting well. Bake about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Pit cherries and plums.
Mix sugar with corn starch and egg yolks. Pour the milk and cream, involving everything well. Bring to boil until it thickens. Remove, let cool and pour into the mould.Decorate the tart with cherries and red plums and set aside in the refrigerator until it's time to serve.




Na América diz-se "life is just a bowl of cherries" e, provavelmente, deveríamos encará-la assim.  As cerejas são o meu fruto preferido - aparecem no mês do meu aniversário, têm matizes extraordinários e são muito pouco calóricas, para além de terem muita fibra. Gosto delas carnudas e grandes, muito escuras e doces. Com algumas sobras de cerejas e ameixas vermelhas experimentei esta receita e asseguro-vos que é deliciosa!

Ingredientes:
 

  • 1 pacote e meio de bolacha Maria
  • 250 gr manteiga derretida 
  • 100g de açúcar
  • 2 colheres (sopa) de amido de milho
  • 3 gemas
  • 4 dl de leite
  • 2 dl de natas
Preparação:
 
Ligue o forno a 180ºC. Unte uma tarteira e forre-a com a massa, ajustando-a bem. Leve ao forno, cerca de 20 minutos. Retire e deixe arrefecer. Descaroce as cerejas e as ameixas.
Misture o açúcar com o amido de milho e as gemas. Verta o leite e as natas, envolvendo tudo muito bem. Leve ao lume para engrossar. Retire, deixe arrefecer e verta na tarteira.
Decore a tarte com cerejas e reserve no frigorífico até à hora de servir.

  7. Que delícia!!! Gosto muito de tuas receitas, Aida! Também adoro cereja e ameixa, achei ótima essa combinação na tua tarte! Se eu percebi bem, é preciso levar ao forno a tarte com o creme pasteleiro (já cozido) até que fique bem douradinho por cima? ;)
    Ótima receita, querida!
