2. For the filling, mix the remaining ingredients together and strain.

3. Roll pastry into 3 mm thick and cut into circles slightly bigger than the tart moulds.

4. Line egg tart moulds with pastry and press well.

5. Pour filling into the prepared moulds till three-quarters full.

6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C till cooked and golden brown for about 25 - 30 minutes. Do not over-bake, otherwise the filling will puff up.
