Ingredients
Method
To make the crust:
- Add the biscuits to a grinder jar. Grind the biscuits into fine crumbs.
- Add melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Grease the tart pan with butter. Add the crumb mixture, spread it out and press down very firmly.
- Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes.
To make the filling:
- In a grinder jar, add chhena, sugar and lemon essence. Grind until smooth.
- Take the tart pan out of the freezer. Pour the chhena mixture. Spread it out. Make sure the top is smooth.
- Freeze for 15 minutes. Then take it out.
To make the fruit layer:
- Using a knife, make some marks over the chhena. And divide the tart into 8 equal sections. We will fill those sections with 4 kinds of chopped fruits.
- Fill one section with grape slices. Then fill the opposite section with grape slices.
- Add the chopped apples in the next section. Then fill the opposite section with apples.
- Fill the next section with chopped orange. Again fill the opposite section with oranges.
- Then fill the next section with pomegranate arils and fill the opposite section with pomegranates.
- Keep the pan in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
To make the jelly:
- Take a saucepan. Add water, sugar, agar-agar powder, honey and lemon essence. Mix well.
- Then heat the saucepan over a low flame and bring the liquid to a boil while stirring continuously.
- After that let it simmer for a few minutes. Constantly stir the liquid, otherwise, agar-agar will stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn the flame off. Allow the liquid to cool down a little. As it cools down, the liquid will thicken.
- Once the liquid becomes slightly thick (just like honey), pour the mixture over the fruits.
- Tip: As soon as the liquid comes in contact with the chilled fruits, it will solidify. So you have to be very quick while pouring the liquid.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Take it out and wrap the pan with a hot kitchen towel. Allow it to sit for a few seconds.
- After that carefully de-mould the tart.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the tart and carefully place the slice over the serving plate.
- No-bake fruit jelly tart is ready to serve!
Notes
If you don’t want to use lemon essence, then substitute it with lemon juice.
