Description

This Spiced Kiwi Pie is a vibrant, refreshing dessert featuring tangy kiwi layered over creamy vanilla custard, nestled in a buttery pre-baked tart shell. Topped with fluffy whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, it’s the perfect blend of tart, sweet, and spice—a show-stopping treat for summer gatherings or whenever you crave a light yet decadent pie.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Tart Base

  • 1 pre-baked tart shell

For the Custard Filling

  • 1 cup vanilla custard

For the Kiwi Topping

  • 45 ripe kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced

For Garnish

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tart Shell: Ensure your pre-baked tart shell is fully cooled to prevent the custard from melting or making the base soggy.
  2. Spread the Custard: Using a spatula, evenly spread 1 cup of vanilla custard into the base of the tart shell, smoothing it out for a level surface.
  3. Arrange the Kiwis: Neatly arrange the thinly sliced kiwis on top of the custard, overlapping them in circular patterns for an attractive finish.
  4. Add Whipped Cream: Pipe or spoon whipped cream decoratively around the edge or center of the tart as desired for a luscious touch.
  5. Add Cinnamon: Lightly dust the surface with a pinch of ground cinnamon, infusing a gentle spice that complements the sweetness and tartness.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set and flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: Slice the tart and serve chilled for a refreshing, creamy dessert with a hint of spice.

Notes

  • Chill the pie thoroughly before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice through the kiwi for neat servings.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle crushed pistachios or toasted coconut on top.
  • Try homemade vanilla custard for extra richness, or use store-bought for convenience.
  • Best enjoyed within 2 days for peak freshness and texture.
