Puits d'amour | Wells of love | Coconut Custart Tart

Puits D’amour or Wells of Love. This tart features a sweet, crumbly crust filled with a velvety cream, all topped with grated coconut and maraschino cherry. If you’ve been to Mauritius, chances are those stunning Puits D’amour displayed in the windows of every patisserie caught your eye.
Dimension: 2.7 in diameter * 0.78 in depth (7 CM x 2 CM)
For the Custard
Ingredients:
500ml Whole Milk
80g White Sugar
30g Cornstarch
30g All purpose flour
5 Egg yolks
1 TBSP Vanilla Extract
For the Whipping Cream
Ingredients:
1 cup - Whipping Cream/ Heavy Cream or Double Cream
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
3 TBSP Icing Sugar
For the dough
Ingredients:
250g All purpose flour
100g Granulated Sugar
140g Cold Butter
1 Egg yolk
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
2 TBSP cold water (or a bit more)
Pinch of Salt
Lemon Zest (Optional)
Note:
Can I bake the shells ahead? Yes! The baked crusts can be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container, for 2-3 days or frozen for a couple of months.
Depending in which country you are, Double cream is heavy cream with a butterfat content of 42%. This is hard to find in the U.S/Canada. You can substitute "heavy cream" which has at least 36% butterfat. I’m using whipping cream 35%. With more fat % in the milk, your cream will hold better.
When making whipped cream it’s best to use a metal bowl that’s been chilled for a little while. Using a warm or room temperature bowl will make make it difficult for the whipped cream to puff up and hold its shape.
Custard - You can make the custard or creme patissiere ahead of time, it will keep for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge. However, I would not add the whipped cream until you were ready to serve it. It is best served immediately.

This was one of my favourite cakes when I was small. I eventually forgot about as we left that little island. Years down the track my mind started seeing images of that cake but I could not remember where I saw it. I started scouring Mauritian cooked vids on KZbin and eventually found out what it was.. :-)

Hello when I added back the tempered eggs to the boiling milk, the mixture thickened very fast and I ended up with a very thick custard. Could it be too much corn/flour or the stove was too hot?

[@zestymu6331]

Hello, looks like the stove was too hot as the milk should not be boiling but just to boil on a medium low heat (no boiling bubbles yet). Also you need to whisk constantly until the custard thickens (this process normally takes 8 to 10 minutes). If the milk is too hot, it will thicken quickly and the egg mixture won't cook properly 😊 For the corn flour, just go with the same measurement as per the recipe 😊 Let us know if you have further questions and thank you for watching 😊

[@Caroline-su7ex]

@@zestymu6331 thank you. It was alright after mixing with the whipped cream. 😄

What do u mean by whole milk?

There are different types of milk, example wholemilk (lait entier) or skim milk (lait écrémé) it should be written on the package 🤗
