Custard tarts

-

Serves 8, ready in 20 minutes, plus setting

• Low-calorie cooking spray • 400g low-fat custard from a can or carton

• 2 x 39g sheets filo pastry, each cut into • ¼-½ tsp freshly ground nutmeg,

8 rectangles to serve

• 3 sheets leaf gelatine • Fresh berries, to serve

1 Preheat your oven to 200°C/ fan 180°C/gas 6. Spray 8 holes of a standard, non-stick muffin tin with low-calorie cooking spray. Lay 2 pastry rectangles in a cross over each hole and lightly respray. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Leave to cool in the tin.

2 Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Heat the custard according to the pack instructio­ns, then remove from the heat. Remove the gelatine, squeeze out any excess water and add the gelatine to the hot custard, stirring until dissolved.

3 Divide the custard between the pastry shells while they are still in the tin. Sprinkle over the nutmeg, to taste. Leave to set at room temperatur­e for at least 2 hours, or until the custard wobbles slightly. If it’s a very warm day, put the tin in the fridge to help the custard set. Serve 1 tart per person with the berries.
