Crostata di frutta – fruit tart for mother’s day

Mother’s day! such a special day that I LOVE to celebrate, not only because I’m a mom of two lovely kids, but most of all because I have a very special mom that I adore and I have to thank her for so many good things that one day to celebrate doesn’t seem enough!

Today’s recipe is dedicated to her (and it’s one of her favorite!): crostata di frutta or fresh fruit tart. Homemade dough, not too sweet to balance the sweetness of the custard cream with a seasonal mix of fresh fruit on top and a thin layer of gelatine to keep the bright colors of the fruit.

The recipe is a bit time consuming (between prep and cooking time 2/3 hours + at least 2 hours in the fridge to rest), so I would suggest to prepare it the day before. The final result is soooo yummy that it is really worth it!!

Happy mother’s day to all of you,
ciao ciao

In Italian BuonaPappa means “enjoy your baby food”. I thought that if I had issues cooking for my baby for the first time, well, maybe I was not the only mom in this situation. Why not start sharing what I learned with other moms and dads all around the world? That's how BuonaPappa.net was born, THANK YOU for following! I feel honored and humbled daily that you would stop by and view my recipes. Grazie mille!

      Hi! I used beans seeds, but you can use any dry seed you like (sometimes I use sunflower seeds). their function is to keep the parchment paper down, they serve as a light weight and they are removed once the crust is cooked! ciao!!b
