I would just wrap it tightly and store at room temperature. You can add the chocolate shell right before adding your other fillings. 🙂

Wow thank you for getting back to me so quickly! That’s super kind of you Sam. 🙂 How would you recommend storing it? And should I put the chocolate shell on it as well and store it with the pastry crust and the chocolate shell or should I do the chocolate shell the day of?
Thank you again for your help. I’m making this for my sister-in-law who is from Brazil and absolutely loves fruit tarts. I’ve never made a pie or a tart before so this is totally new. But I’ve made a few of your recipes and they have been massive hits. Thank you again!!

Hey Sam. I am making this for a birthday party at 11AM. Can I make the tart shell a few days in advance so I can quickly assemble the tart the day of?

Thank you!

In reply to Patty N..

O no! I’m so sorry this happened, Patty! It sounds like the pastry cream may have been thickened a little bit too much. You can thin it by whisking in some more heavy cream, or if you’d like more cream you can increase the recipe for it next time. 🙂

I usually love your recipes but I was disappointed in this one. The pastry cream was unspreadable out of the frigerator….I let it warm up, working it with a spoon…..but there was barely enough to cover the tart shell. The taste was too chocolate forward and lacking the luxurious pastry cream.

Tart shell was good.

I’m so sorry for the confusion, Emily! I wonder if it’s some sort of glitch. I will go make sure it’s corrected and updated for future use. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

I loved the recipe! I was able to figure out how much sugar to use from the directions, but it isn’t listed in the pastry cream ingredients.

This was absolutely perfect! It took some work, but was totally worth it XD
I actually used lemon extract in the cream instead of vanilla. It added a little extra zing.
Thanks so much for this recipe!

Can the crust recipe be used to make mini tart shells?

There is an ad right before the video plays, but it should only play for about 3 seconds before you can skip it. Unfortunately the ads are necessary so that I can keep the content (all my recipes and videos) free to you, thank you for understanding 🙂

Hi Susan! It is in the recipe card, just above the ingredients 🙂

Nevermind, it finally popped up after all the ads were finished.

Thank you for this wonderful recipe for the fruit tart. It’s a great idea to put the chocolate in and let it harden so that we can have a nice crispy crust it’s so important for that feature to be had because nothing worse than a soggy crust. Thank you so much again for all your recipes. Five stars.catherine Santoro

Sounds amazing! I don’t think I could’ve written my name much less written out this entire recipe when my son was a baby! You are a true baking soldier! Lots of love and wishes for a good nights sleep!
