A package of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Shells–$4.49 plus tax.
A pack of frozen strawberry and blueberry–$2.99 plus tax.
Eggs, milk, sugar and other ingredients–less than $1.00.
Making strawberry and blueberry tarts that whisper “eat me eat me“–priceless…
Ingredients:
1 package of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pasty Shells (6 shells)
6 fresh or frozen strawberries
1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
Powdered sugar
Vanilla Cream Filling:
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup milk
2 beaten egg yolks
1 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
In a pan, combine sugar, starch, and gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir over medium heat until the filling becomes very thick and begins to bubble. Remove from heat and slowly pour egg yolks into pan and stirring constantly. Cook and stir mixture over low heat. Add in butter and vanilla extract. Transfer filling to a bowl and set aside.
Bake puff pastry shells according to package directions. After baking, lift shells in the middle and spoon about 2 tablespoons of vanilla cream filling into each pastry shell. Top with strawberry and blueberries and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Unkaleong - next time put a napkin around your neck before you visit Rasa Malaysia! LOL!
Fatboybakes - Yeah, I guess it will be hard to find this kind of products in Malaysia. I work in the US by the way.
Lucia - I am not a big fan of berries either (fresh), but when they are backed or used in desserts, they are good.
Budding Cook - when are you going to try baking some cakes. ;)

Woaw, what an amazing picture !!! It really nice, I love it. You do not need to put the eat me on the picture because that was the first thing I thought when I saw it ;-) this is not Malaysian food, isn’t it ;-)
Thank you for your comment on my blog. Basically, the “story” said that I was in a bad day, with quite a lot of non-motivating events…anyway. I went in my Asian shop and I found a Thai mango. I have eaten the first one in Ayutthaya in Thailand and it was just wonderful, you this so intensive taste…And I have just cook some crepe for this mango, with a small swiss touch ;-) That was the story.
Have a nice day
Cheers
Claude

Just add grated coconut seasoned with turmeric, lemon grass, red chilies and you’ve got cross-cultural ‘Amerilaysian’ Tarts.

I must stock up baking pantry before I try all ur egg tarts and berry tarts recipe. I don’t bake -tt’s y never keep ingredients eg. vanilla extract, sugar and no baking utensils.
But looks like your post may power the change!
You, power leh! ;p
