Ingredients

8 servings

For the crust

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
2–3 tbsp ice water

For the pastry cream

2 cups whole milk
½ cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
3 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the topping

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about five medium strawberries is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 2 tablespoons per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid strawberries, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about a third of a cup of raspberries is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 2 tablespoons per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid raspberries, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ cup fresh blackberries
Ingredient note
A low fructose diet limits fruit portions because fructose adds up across servings; the small amount of berries used here keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid blackberries, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the glaze

⅓ cup apricot jam
1 tbsp water

Instructions

1
Make the crust: Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
2
Drizzle in 2 tbsp of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just begins to come together, adding the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough looks dry and crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, press it into a flat disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
