How to Make Fig and Vanilla Custard Tarts

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 6 sheets filo pastry
• 1 Tbsp custard powder
• 0.66 cup (160 ml) low-fat milk
• 50 g eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp caster sugar or granulated sugar substitute
• 2 small fresh figs, sliced lengthways

1. Preheat oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Spray 6 x 125 ml (½ cup) non-stick muffin tin holes with cooking spray. Lay 1 sheet of filo on a flat surface. Spray with cooking spray. Fold pastry into quarters and use it to line 1 muffin tin hole, allowing pastry to overhang. Repeat with remaining filo sheets and cooking spray.
2. Put custard powder in a medium bowl. Add milk, eggs, vanilla and sugar and whisk to combine. Arrange fig slices over pastry bases. Pour custard mixture over fig. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set.
3. Remove tarts from tin and put on serving plates. Serve warm or at room temperature.
