Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- - 1 large egg
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Filling:
- - 2 cups heavy cream
- - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Decoration:
- - Assorted fruits, such as berries and kiwi
- - Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the cold cubed butter and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out two number shapes using number-shaped cookie cutters or templates.
- Place the cut-out numbers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Place one of the baked numbers on a serving platter and spread a layer of the whipped cream filling over it. Add some sliced fruits on top of the cream. Place the second number on top and repeat the process.
- Decorate the top of the cake with more sliced fruits and dust with powdered sugar.
- Chill the cream tart number cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Slice and serve the cream tart number cake as a stunning and delicious dessert that will impress your guests.
