Cook: 45 mins
Ingredients:
9-12 digestive biscuits, lightly crushed
50g butter, melted
6 tbsp strawberry jam (or any flavor you like)
2 eggs, beaten
50g caster sugar
225g cornflakes (or other plain cereal like Special K or Weetabix)
9-12 digestive biscuits, lightly crushed
- Place the crushed biscuits in a medium-sized bowl, then mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Spread the mixture onto one half of your tart case, then top with another layer of biscuits (or use more if you want to make an extra thick crust).
- Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top
50g butter, melted
- Melt the butter in a microwave or pan.
- Don’t use margarine!
6 tbsp strawberry jam (or any flavor you like)
Next, choose a jam or preserve that complements the biscuit. The sweetness of your jam should be similar to the biscuits, but if you’re using a thicker variety like strawberry jam then don’t use more than 1 tablespoon per tart.
If you’re using homemade preserves then make sure it’s made from fruit and sugar only! That way it will taste sweet without being too overpowering for those who prefer their cakes less sweet.
2 eggs, beaten
- Beat the eggs until they are thick and frothy.
50g caster sugar
Sugar is the main ingredient in this recipe and it’s also the only ingredient you need to buy. It adds sweetness and texture, so use only as much as you need for your personal taste buds to be satisfied.
225g cornflakes (or other plain cereal like Special K or Weetabix)
Cornflakes are a good choice. If you can’t find cornflakes, other plain cereals such as Special K or Weetabix will work too.
To make the tart, simply mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes then remove from oven and allow to cool before adding jam/jelly/jammy bits of whatever flavor you want!
How to make it?
- To make the cornflake tart, simply preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Then unroll the puff pastry and press it into a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Trim away any excess pastry, leaving just a small amount hanging over the rim.
- Next, mix together the cornflakes, sugar, and melted butter. Then spread this mixture over the pastry base. Finally, brush the beaten egg over the top of the tart.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cornflake filling is cooked through. Serve warm or cold, with a dollop of cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
Conclusion
You can use any type of cereal or mix in your favorite biscuits – we love the idea of using chocolate ones! For a more traditional pie-like dish, serve with ice cream or cream. This recipe is perfect for lunchboxes too!
