We are in the season of cherries, so I could not prepare a couple of desserts made from one of my favorite fruits: Today I leave you the recipe for a luscious tart lemon custard and fresh cherries. The cherries must be put in the whole sweet and I explain here in a short video as denocciolare in a huff leaving them whole cherries. Treasure and cherish it because it will serve you well for another dessert next week. I decided not to brush the pastry with the egg yolk but sprinkle with a little’ brown sugar, to give it a rustic touch. If you want to decorate the tart as I did, you just have to derive from the pastry of diskettes and then to bend slightly prior to lay them on the sweet, so that it seems almost like chips. Have a good day!
If you like cakes with custard and fruit, Also try the lustful Torta della nonna or fanciful Crumble with custard and blueberries.
