6. Dust off your table with flour. Use rolling pin to shape the dough.
7. Dust off excess flour and put into 15 cm mould and blind bake in a preheated oven 180F for 13 mins.
8. Remove from oven, take out the baking beans and continue baking for another 13 minutes.

Custard

5. Sieve the mixture back to pan and stir until it becomes thicken.
6. Remove from pan and put in a plate. Flaten it and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 5 mins or longer.
7. Take out from the fridge, beat the custard and add vanilla essence and orange essence.
8. In another bowl, beat fresh cream and add gelatine.
9. Pour fresh cream mix into the custard and beat well.

Spread the custard mixture on the crust and decorate with assorted fruits.
Glaze with fruit syrup (if you dont have, no need to glaze but it wont look shiny, I didnt put either for the tartlets in the picture). Kalau nak senang lagi beli je ready made tartlets tu...
