Can I make the custard ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the custard mixture a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, I recommend filling the tart shells just before baking to maintain the best texture.

What if I don’t have all the ingredients?

You can always substitute with similar ingredients. For example, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream or try a dairy-free milk option. Keep in mind that the flavor may vary.

How do I know when the egg tarts are done baking?

Your egg tarts are done when they have puffed slightly and the edges are a nice golden color. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Can I use homemade tart shells?

Definitely! If you're up for making your tart shells, you can achieve even more flavor and satisfaction. Just ensure they are properly prepped before filling.

How should I store leftover tarts?

Store leftover tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for the best experience.
