First you need to prepare the custard: Beat the egg yolks with sugar, vanilla, flour up to create a creamy sauce. Heat the milk and slowly add the mixture. Continue to cook until it thickens. Allow it to cool by placing it in a container, cover with a cloth Cooking slightly wet (moisture will cause the surface of the cream from hardening), stir occasionally. Then prepare the
pastry dough. Remember that this formula must be very fast mixing all the ingredients above.

Once ready pastry dough, wrap in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes. After the expiry of the time required remove the dough from the refrigerator Acceding oven to 180 °, buttered and floured a tart mold,

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and provided a circle vs. mold should be about 34 cm. If you can not use their hands well with a rolling pin! Put the dough into the mold and shaped the edges! I like to do it with a fork! At this point you can not bake the cake directly so because otherwise the dough to inflate. To work around this problem you need to do many small holes with a fork and cover with parchment paper and place on top of beans. The weight does not allow us to raise the fondo.Infornate in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, when the mixture appears golden brown and the edges will be detached from the mold, baked base and let raffreddare.Nel meantime, clean the fruit into slices Place the base of the tart on the pan and fill it with custard then, starting from the edges, fruit disponetevi as you see in the picture, until you reach the center!

Prepare the gelatin to be placed on the cake by combining 200 ml of water on the fire the juice of ½ lemon filtered and the powder prepared for gelatin. Mix all ingredients together, then bring to a boil and then lower the heat, boil for two minutes and then turn off. Let cool gelatin, stirring now and then, using a spoon, cover the mixture with the whole pie.

At this point you can not eat immediately, even if the temptation is great. So hands off and let the cake cool Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours!!

Bon appetit!
