Let’s prepare the base:
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the oil,
Add the milk, flour and a little vanilla and mix well.
Pour the batter into the tartlet molds. Put the leftover batter into a pan — we’ll use it for the final mimosa decoration. Bake at 356°F for about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
Prepare the custard:
In a small saucepan put the egg, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and vanilla
add the milk and bring to the heat, stirring constantly until thickened. At the end of cooking, add the butter
and mix. Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and let cool.
Filling and decoration:
Place the cold tartlets on a plate. Fill them with the custard using a piping bag.
Decorate with fruit as you like. Cut the prepared sponge cake into cubes and distribute them over the tartlets to create the classic mimosa effect.
