I. Ingredients:

To make a delicious Custard Tart infused with CBD, gather the following ingredients:

For the pastry:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2-3 tablespoons ice-cold water

For the custard filling:

• 2 cups whole milk
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)

II. Equipment:

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment:

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk or fork
• Rolling pin
• 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom
• Aluminum foil or parchment paper
• Baking weights or dried beans for blind baking
• Saucepan
• Wooden spoon or spatula

III. Step-by-Step Instructions:

A. Making the Pastry:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the egg yolk and gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to chill and firm up.

B. Preparing the Custard Filling:

1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until well combined and slightly thickened.
3. Gradually pour the heated milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and place it over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool slightly.

C. Incorporating CBD:

1. To infuse CBD into your Custard Tart, you can use CBD oil drops.
2. After the custard has cooled slightly, add 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the custard and stir well to ensure even distribution of CBD throughout the mixture.

D. Assembling and Baking the Custard Tart:

1. Pre
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the tart pan.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough into a circle slightly larger than the tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan and press it gently into the bottom and sides.
4. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
5. Line the crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill it with baking weights or dried beans to blind bake the crust. This helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
7. Remove the foil/parchment paper and baking weights/beans and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the crust to dry out.
8. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
9. Pour the CBD-infused custard filling into the pre-baked tart shell, spreading it out evenly.
10. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and return it to the oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top.
11. Remove the Custard Tart from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. IV. Tips and Variations:
12. Flavor Variations: Enhance the flavor of your Custard Tart by adding a hint of lemon zest or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard filling.
13. Fruit Topping: After the Custard Tart has cooled, you can decorate it with fresh fruit such as berries or sliced peaches for an added burst of color and flavor.
14. Whipped Cream: Serve each slice of Custard Tart with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of indulgence.

 V. Serving and Storage:

Once your Custard Tart infused with CBD is baked to perfection, it’s time to serve and enjoy this creamy and comforting dessert. Here are some serving and storage tips:

• Serving: Serve the Custard Tart at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference. Slice it into wedges and serve it on its own or with a side of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
• Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap. The Custard Tart will keep well for up to 2-3 days. Note that the crust may become slightly softer over time.
