Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your ingredients: Dice one nectarine for the jam and thinly slice another for the topping.
Step 2
Gather all the ingredients needed for the smooth and delicious custard cream.
Step 3
1. Make the tart crust: First, melt the 40g of butter in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds until completely liquid. Place the 80g of whole wheat cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs.
Step 4
Add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs in the zip-top bag. Seal the bag and shake or knead until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Step 5
Transfer the cookie mixture into your serving dish(es) or tart mold. Press down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon to create a compact layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the crust is firm.
Step 6
2. Make the custard cream: Gently warm 90g of milk in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg yolk until smooth. Add 20g of sugar and 10g of cornstarch to the yolk and mix well until no lumps remain.
Step 7
Gradually whisk the warmed milk into the yolk mixture. Add the milk a little at a time to prevent the yolk from cooking. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 8
Pour the mixture into a saucepan, straining it through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a silky smooth cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
Step 9
Once the cream thickens to a pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in 3-4 drops of vanilla extract for fragrance. Transfer the custard to a bowl and let it cool completely. Tip: The mixture thickens quickly due to the small quantity, so stir carefully to prevent scorching.
Step 10
3. Prepare the peach jam and topping: Finely dice one nectarine for the jam. Slice the other nectarine thinly (about 2-3mm thick) into wedge shapes for the topping.
Step 11
Place the diced nectarine in a saucepan with 10g of sugar and 20g of peach iced tea. Cook over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has a jam-like consistency. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 12
4. Make the caramelized peach topping: Lightly grease a pan with a touch of olive oil. Place the peach slices in the pan and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over them.
Step 13
Cook until the sugar melts and caramelizes, turning a nice golden brown color. Don’t worry if it looks slightly charred; this is the caramelized sugar and adds great flavor!
Step 14
All components are now ready for assembly! You have the crisp tart base, smooth custard cream, sweet peach jam, and beautifully caramelized peach toppings.
Step 15
Spread the completely cooled custard cream evenly over the chilled tart crust.
Step 16
Gently spread the prepared peach jam over the custard cream layer. This adds a lovely sweet and tart dimension.
Step 17
Crumble 1 whole wheat cookie into pieces and sprinkle them over the jam. Arrange the caramelized peach slices decoratively around the edge of the tart, starting from the outside and working your way in.
Step 18
Voila! Your delicious no-bake spoon peach tart is complete. Enjoy this delightful dessert that’s as beautiful as it is tasty!
