Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 3 egg whites
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
• 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 1 ½ tablespoons ice water
• 1 bananas, peeled and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, sift together the flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with the ice water, and toss the mixture with a fork until evenly moistened. Pat into a round, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

In the top half of a double boiler, heat the milk until it begins to bubble. In a bowl, beat together the egg whites, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the hot milk. Whisk the egg white mixture into the remaining hot milk . Cook and stir without boiling about 10 minutes, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla. Cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8 inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 4

On a floured surface, roll the tart dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Press the chilled dough into the prepared tart pan. Trim the edges, and pierce the bottom with a fork. Bake 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack, and cool completely.

Step 5

Spoon the filling mixture into the crust. Bake 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Refrigerate 8 hours. Arrange banana, kiwi, and strawberry slices over the filling just before serving.
