how to cook No Bake Peach Chocolate Custard Tart?

STEP 1

To make a delicious basic shortbread dough, follow this recipe carefully. Once the dough is ready, bake it in a 20 cm round tart tin as instructed here. After baking, allow the shortbread crust to cool completely.

TIPS: Swap out the basic butter shortbread dough for a delicious alternative. Try using shortbread dough made with yogurt (no eggs needed!), or experiment with nutty or corn flour-based options.

STEP 2

Now, here comes the fun part! Take the cooled shortbread crust and brush the inside with some melted chocolate. Yum! Pop it in the refrigerator to set.

TIPS: Wondering how to melt chocolate? You have two options: either use a water bath (a pan of simmering water) or pop it in the microwave. Both methods work like a charm, so go with whichever one suits your fancy.

Meanwhile, give those peaches a good wash and remove the pits. Slice them up into beautiful pieces.
