A Makeshift Fruit Tart
Posted by briewalter
What I bought:
1 nectarine ($1)
1 peach ($0.50)
1 banana ($0.24)
1 box of raspberries ($1.25)
1 box of vanilla instant pudding ($1.69)
What I had at home:
Left over chocolate chip cookie dough…only enough to make about 2 large cookies.
Summer is evidently approaching in Southern California because fruit is practically being given away with the lowest prices of the season that I’ve seen thus far. I figured I had to make something wonderful with a variety of these luscious fruits I picked up. It was too sweet for me to pass up making a dessert for this blog, so I decided to come up with a makeshift fruit tart.
What I did:
In a small, greased pie pan, I pressed my left over cookie dough in the bottom, about 1 centimeter thick, and baked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
While that was baking, I made the instant pudding in a pot on the stove…following the box directions.
When the cookie was done, I set it aside, and poured the pudding into the pie pan until it almost reached the top, and then I decorated it with slices of the fresh fruit I purchased. I put the whole tart in the refrigerator to chill…I didn’t time it…we just ate it after we were done eating dinner! It was great…turned out better than I expected, and we served it to guests, and everyone had seconds! I will definitely make it my new staple for a quick dessert when having company, or make it when I’m craving something sweet.
