Instructions

In a stand mixer, combine 100 g softened butter and 40 g icing sugar. Beat until combined.
Add the egg and mix on low until smooth.
Gradually add 225 g plain flour and mix until large clumps form.
Form the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll dough to fit in a 9-inch tart pan and prick the base with a fork.
Line with parchment paper and fill with weights. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat 3 ½ cups milk, 57 g butter, 3 teaspoons vanilla, and 100 g sugar until steaming.
In a bowl, whisk ½ cup cornflour and eggs. Slowly drizzle in the steaming milk, whisking constantly.
Return mixture to the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat, stirring until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Pour custard into the tart shell and refrigerate for 3 hours before topping it with mixed berries.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.
