My Homemade Pastry Cream Fruit Tart

My friend came over to join me in a baking session, and it turned out we chose to make something that required no baking at all! Using my new Miette cookbook, we chose to make a berry cream tart.


It came out really well, a little soft, but super tasty. It was very simple to make, and I switched up some things which saved a lot of time. I bought the pie crust pre-made at the grocery store, and I used vanilla extract instead of steeping a vanilla bean.


The custard is rich in flavor, the salty graham cracker crust balances out the sweetness, and the berries add the perfect tartness. For a light summery dessert this is amazing!

My Homemade Trifle

The recent nice weather made me crave something light and fruity, so I attempted to make my first fruit trifle. This is a super easy and low fat dessert that would be great for a dinner party, or just to keep in the fridge to snack on!


I bought a box of Angel Food mix, which is the easiest thing to make - all you do is add water! I threw in a few drops of Almond Extract for a little extra flavor.


I took the cake and crumbled into pieces, mainly using the inside fluffy bits. I chose Strawberries and Blueberries, but any fruit will work! The last thing you need is Cool Whip and you're ready to go.


You can either layer it in a nice glass or trifle bowl...


Or mix it all together...

It's so tasty, and guilt free!
