The fruit puff pastry tart is a light and fresh dessert, perfect for summer. The crispy puff pastry base pairs perfectly with creamy pastry cream and delicate mixed berries. A touch of kirsch gives this dessert a unique flavor. Ideal to enjoy for breakfast or as a dessert.
Thaw the puff pastry; meanwhile prepare the pastry cream: heat the milk and separately briefly work the egg yolk with the flour and the sugar; temper the mixture with the hot milk by pouring it in a thin stream, then bring to moderate heat and, stirring often, let the cream cook for about 5 minutes; finally add the vanillin and the kirsch, turn off the heat and let cool.
Roll out the thawed pastry into a 5 mm-thick sheet and cut out a 20 cm-diameter disk; brush it with beaten egg and arrange the savoiardi on top after soaking them in a syrup made with 50 g of kirsch and the same amount of water, leaving a free border of about 2 cm at the edges of the disk.
Pour the now-cooled cream over the savoiardi, then arrange the banana in slices on top and about 100 g of mixed berries.
Rework the scraps, roll out again a 5 mm-thick sheet and cut another disk slightly larger than the first.
Starting from the center, cut it into 8 rays (slices) that will not reach the edge of the disk but will stop at the cream and the biscuits; fix it to the underlying layer by pressing along the edge, revealing the heart of the tart.
Brush it with egg and decorate it with the remaining pastry scraps.
