The soft fruit tart is a variation of the classic tart. It stands out for its soft base, similar to a Sponge Cake.
This characteristic makes the dessert more delicate to the bite, without being too dry or crumbly. Additionally, it is much quicker to prepare as it does not require rising times and is lighter.
The soft fruit tart is filled with custard, which adds a creamy and delicious note to the dessert, balancing the lightness of the base. Its delicate flavor pairs perfectly with the freshness of the fruit, creating a perfect contrast between creaminess and juiciness.
Strawberries, sweet and juicy, give a sugary and spring-like flavor, as well as a vibrant color that makes the tart more inviting
The kiwi, with its slightly acidic note, balances the sweetness of the cream and the base, preventing the dessert from becoming cloying. Additionally, its bright green color creates a beautiful chromatic contrast with the strawberries.
Ideal to serve as a dessert at the end of a meal or to bring as a gift to lunches with friends and family.
The soft fruit tart is also great to enjoy as an afternoon snack.

Then thoroughly wash the strawberries and peel the kiwis.
Cut the strawberries in half and then into not too thin slices from the height, and dice the kiwis.
Once the soft base and custard are ready, let them cool completely.
Then fill the base using the piping bag making circles until it is completely covered.
Then decorate by placing the diced kiwis in the center and adding, from the inside out, the sliced strawberries. Dip the base of the strawberries into the custard so they can stand upright until completion.

With an intense and sweet aroma, a sign of optimal ripening.
Choose organic kiwis that are slightly soft to the touch (if too hard, they are not ripe). Without bruises or wrinkles, with a light fuzz.
