Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 large egg yolk

2 tablespoons cold water

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup fresh raspberries

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Tart Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the chilled cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Incorporate Egg Yolk: Add the egg yolk and cold water to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

      Prepare Tart Shells: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles and place them into greased tart pans. Prick the bottom with a fork.

        Bake Tarts: Bake the crusts in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

          Make Vanilla Cream Filling: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and bubbles, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.

            Assemble Tarts: Once the tart shells are cooled and the cream is thick but still pourable, fill each tart shell generously with the vanilla cream.

              Add Fresh Raspberries: Top each tart with fresh raspberries, arranging them artfully on the cream.

                Refrigerate: Chill the assembled tarts in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set the filling.

                  Serve: To serve, garnish with mint leaves if desired and enjoy this delightful dessert!

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve the tarts on a white platter for contrast, and consider dusting them with additional powdered sugar just before serving for a beautiful finish.
