Who can resist the look of a colourful fruit tart? I know i can't :p, the more colour, the better (My Fruity babe is lacking a little in here cuz it's not strawberry season yet, and red grapes are non existent this morning when i needed it the most..so it's replaced with green grapes). Anyway, it seriously is very easy to make and tastes absolutely wonderful.

Pie shell:

• You can buy or make your own if you decide to make your own, you need:
• 210 g of flour
• 50 g of granulated sugar
• 1 egg - beaten lightly
• 120 g of butter
• beat butter till light
• add in sugar into butter and beat until fluffy
• add in egg, mix until it's just incorporated (careful not to over beat b/c it can change texture of the pie and cause it to be extremely hard and cause a change of colour)
• add in flour all at once until it forms a ball (careful not to over handle this dough, as it can lead to the pie hardening)
• freeze for about 15 mins while wrapped in glad wrap
• then, take it out and roll it in a slightly floured surface until it reaches the thickness that you like, then roll it onto your tart pan (like the one shown in my pic), poke with forks at the bottom
  
• bake (with a pie tart weight/rice/beans) for 25 mins in 200 C - then cool
  

Pastri Fla:

• 3 egg yolks
• 20 g flour
• 20 g cornstarch
• 50 g sugar
  
• 300 g fresh milk
• liquor of your preference (proli rum or brandy)

• incorporate egg yolks with sugar
• then add in the flour and cornstarch
• mean while heat the fresh milk on a saucepan
• once it's heated, add a little bit to the egg yolk mixture and put back in the saucepan where it can heat some more
• keep on stirring and whisking while it's heating up and produces a thick consistency
• then take off from the stove and keep on whisking again for about 3 minutes to stop any clumps forming
• then put this into the pie shell

Fruits

• whatever you want, preferebly something pretty :P
• Assemble all you want on top of the custard
  

Apricot Glaze (You need this glaze so you can brush it on top of your fruits, so it looks shiny and pretty and so nice to eat :P)

• 1 teaspoon Apricot Jam
• Grand Marinier Liquor
• Microwave in a little cup for 30 seconds, add a little water, and whisk
• bush on top of the fruit assembly

Viola! Finito
