Cream Tarts with Profiteroles

We all appreciate a good cream cake and this one has a crispy base, fresh fruit, cream, custard and everyone’s favourite shiny crackling chocolate covered filled profiterole.

Ingredients

Shortbread shells
Vanilla custard
Whipped cream
Profiteroles (recipe)
Dark chocolate
Strawberries

Method

Fill some tart tins with shortbread and bake in the oven at 180ºC for approx. 12 minutes. Whip some fresh cream and melt some chocolate. Take the baked shortbread tarts out of the tins and brush some chocolate in the base. Mix some custard with whipped cream and mix in some chopped strawberries. Place this mix in the tarts on the chocolate and pipe a ring of fresh cream on top. Dip profiteroles in chocolate and place in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set. Make a hole in the bottom of the profiteroles and fill them with custard. Place on top of the cream.

Note: Use blackberries, blueberries, raspberries or a mixture instead of strawberries.
