Yes, obviously, I will make desert...

Yes, obviously, I will make desert... this time, crème pâtissière & berries tartlets.

 It's very easy to prepare, but, using Thermomix it turns out extremely simple. Here's the recipe. I promise everyone will love it!!


Ingredients:
 * Tartlets(I used them already made, but you can make them with puff pastry)
 * Crème pâtissière:
        3.5 tbs of sugar (50 grs)
        1 cup of milk (250 grs)
        5 tsp of cornstarch (25 grs)
        2 small eggs
        1 tbs of vanilla or vanilla sugar
* Berries ( If it's out of the season and can't find them fresh you can always buy them frozen) *Covering:
        3.5 tbs of water to hydratate jelly (50 grs)
        1/3 cup of jelly (can be strawberry flavored) (80 grs)
        3/4 cups of water (200 grs)

 Preparation :
 1.-Spread tartlets on a clean surface with space for working.
 2.-Prepare the crème pâtissière as follows: Place all the ingredients detailed before in the TM bowl and program 7 minutes, 190ºF (90ºC), speed 4.
 3.-Remove the crème pâtissière and let it cool down a bit before you share it out upon the tartlets. Do not fill them up too much, remember berries are still left.
 4.-Place the berries decoratively on the top of the crème pâtissière.
 5.-Prepare the covering: - hydrate jelly in a bowl with 3.5 tbs of water. - Place 3/4 cups of water in TM bowl and program 1 minute, 210ºF (100ºC), speed 1. - Add the jelly and dissolute programing 30 seconds, 210ºF (100ºC), speed 2.
 6.- Use the jelly to paint each tartlet using a cooking brush.

 Finally, place the tartlets in the fridge until it's time to serve. If you like, you can spread some confectioner's sugar.

 No dubt, it will be successful!!
