Strawberry Tart

by Beth Crump
0
strawberry tart

This luxurious strawberry tart is ideal for a summer afternoon tea. Showcase juicy British strawberries in this classic pudding. Filled will velvety Crème PÒtissière, this pudding is sure to be a showstopper. You can always make mini versions instead of 1 large tart for individual treats or gifts. It is best served straight away when the strawberries are fresh but can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 days. Find British strawberries for sale in our Greengrocers.

Don’t forget to tag @beckettsfarm in your creations.

Ready in:Β 2.5 hours

Serves:Β 12

Ingredients

500g strawberries

200g plain flour, plus a little extra for dusting

125g unsalted butter, softened slightly

100g strawberry jam

85g icing sugar

2 tbsp apricot jam

1 egg

For the Crème PÒtissière

300ml milk

150ml double cream

60g caster sugar

50g butter, cubed and left to soften

3.5 tbsp cornflour

3 egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Place the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth, but not fluffy. Next, mix in the egg then add the flour. Bring together using your hands to form a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for around 30 minutes.

2. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface to 3cm bigger than your fluted tart tin. Line the tin with the pastry, leaving the excess to overhang. Prick the base with a fork and chill in the fridge for a further 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 200C. Line the pastry with baking paper and baking beans, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake for another 15-20 until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven then leave in the tin to cool.

4. Next, make the Crème PÒtissière. Pour the milk, cream and vanilla into saucepan and heat, stirring occasionally, bringing to a simmer. In the meantime, whisk the sugar with the egg whites until pale, then stir in the cornflour.

5. Pour around a quarter of the hot cream into the egg mix, whisking continuously, then pour the egg mix into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Stir continuously over a low heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the cubed butter until smooth, then cover and leave in the fridge until needed.

6. Slightly beat the strawberry jam, then spread over the base of the pastry case. Fill a piping bag with the Crème PÒtissière and pipe on top of the jam in a spiral shape, covering the whole base.

7. Hull the strawberries, cut into large slices and arrange on top of the tart in a pattern.

8. Use a small pan to heat the apricot jam with a tablespoon of water until warm. Whisk well then leave to cool slightly. Brush over the top of the strawberries then keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
