While the durian custard is refrigerated. Let's make the tart crust, and press 13g of dough into the mold with a press tool.
- 11
Press out more of the dough and cut off left and right with a knife to make the tart skin look flat.
- 12
Poke a few holes in the bottom of the tart skin with a fork to help it be breathable to avoid the problem of the bottom bump.
- 13
After the poke is done, it can be sent to the oven preheated to 170°c. Put in the middle rack with upper and lower heat on 170°c and bake for 15 minutes, then turn to the upper heat and bake for 3 to 5 minutes to color.

After baking, take it out and let it cool, then demould, put the durian custard in a piping bag and squeeze it into the tart to enjoy.
