FRENCH STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin. Use to line a deep, 23cm fluted, loose-bottomed tart tin. Trim the excess and prick the base all over with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the crème pâtissière. Put the milk and vanilla pod in a large pan, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat. In a large bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar for 10 minutes until voluminous, then beat in the flour and lemon zest. Strain the warm milk slowly into the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Clean the pan, then pour the mixture back in and gently bring to the boil, stirring constantly until it has thickened. Take the pan off the heat, cover the surface of the crème pâtissière with baking paper and leave to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Line the pastry case with baking paper and fill with baking beans or rice. Place on a baking sheet and blind-bake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans/rice and paper, then cook for a further 10-15 minutes until golden. If the edges look too dark, cover with foil. Leave for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Spoon the crème pâtissière into the tart, then level the surface with the back of a spoon. Place a strawberry half in the centre of the tart, then arrange concentric rings of fruit around it until all of the crème pâtissière is covered.
• Gently warm the jelly with 2 tbsp water until melted, brush over the strawberries and leave for 2 minutes to set. Serve.

FRESH MINI STRAWBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and process until it looks like a cross between oatmeal and coarse cornmeal.
• Combine egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Process until most of the dough rolls into a ball. If necessary, sparingly add drops of cream to make it come together.
• Press dough into a roll like refrigerated cookie dough. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes
• Spray molds generously with Baker's Secret or something like it. (Baker's Secret is an aerosol spray mix of flour and oil.) If using silicone molds, no greasing is necessary.
• Slice your roll of dough into 12 pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap into a circle slightly larger than tart molds. Press into a mold with fingers being careful to keep the thickness consistent. Use a knife to trim off any extra at the top. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, overnight or up to a month. (See video for this step.)
• Freeze tarts for at least 30 minutes. Lay nonstick foil or butter on the shiny side of aluminum foil and fit flat but snugly inside of the crust. Bake in a 375˚F oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove foil for the last 8 minutes of bake time. Gently push the crust down if you see it has begun to puff when you remove the foil. Cool.
• Combine water, cornstarch, strawberry Jello, and corn syrup in that order. Stir or whisk until dissolved.
• Cook the filling in a microwave using a 2 qt-glass batter bowl. Takes 4-7 minutes on High, stirring once or twice. The mixture should boil and thicken to the consistency of molasses.
• Add food coloring and flavorings, if using. Set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse and de-stem 1 quart of strawberries. Allow to drain and dry on a towel. Slice or cut strawberries into small pieces. Gently fold strawberries into the glaze.
• Spoon glazed strawberries into baked shells. I like to fill them as high as possible. Decadence is irresistible.
• Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. Best eaten the day they are made. Just before serving, top with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint if desired.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Rinse the strawberries. Cut off the caps and chop the berries into small chunks. Set aside 1/3 for later.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 2/3 of the strawberries, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until the strawberries release their juices. Mash the berries with a wooden spoon to release more syrup. Keep cooking for 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
• Use a stick blender or whisk to puree/mash the strawberries to achieve your desired smoothness or chunkiness.
• Combine the puree with the remaining strawberries and enjoy!

STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• To make the pastry, put the butter and icing sugar in a food processor and blitz until combined. Add the egg yolks and blitz until smooth. Add the flour and salt and blitz until a dough starts to form. Shape the dough into a ball, flatten to a disc and then wrap and chill in the fridge for around 30 minutes.
• To make the crème pâtissière, heat the milk, vanilla paste and salt over a low heat until gently steaming. Meanwhile, put the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a bowl and stir together until smooth and thick. Slowly pour in the hot milk in a thin stream, stirring with a whisk. Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it melts and combines with the thickened mixture. Pour the mixture into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film to prevent a skin from forming. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then chill until needed.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and dust a bit more flour on top. Roll out to form a circle about 30cm/12in in diameter. Line a 23cm/9in loose-bottomed fluted tart tin with the pastry, gently pressing it down into the tin and up the sides. Leave the pastry overhanging the edge of the tin and trim away any excess pastry. Prick the base all over with a fork, then chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
• Remove the tart tin from the fridge and place on a baking tray. Take a large square of baking paper and crumple it up into a ball, then uncrumple it and use it to line the pastry. Fill with baking beans to support the edges as the pastry bakes. Blind bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden. Lift out the baking paper and beans and bake for a further 7-10 minutes, until golden and crisp all over. Leave to cool.
• Sprinkle the strawberries with the caster sugar and set aside for 5 minutes until they begin to release their juices. Remove the crème pâtissière from the fridge and stir briefly until smooth. Pour it into the cooled pastry case and spread evenly. Decorate with the strawberries in concentric circles. Cut into slices and serve.

STRAWBERRY CUSTARD TARTS

Steps:

• Begin by making the pastry. Place the flour and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add the egg yolk and water and pulse until the mixture begins to come together to form a ball. Turn the mixture out onto plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and roll out the pastry on a lightly floured bench or silicone baking mat until approximately 5mm thick. Line eight 9.5cm (4 inch) [amazon_link id="B00022447G" target="_blank" ]loose bottom tart tins[/amazon_link] with the pastry, making sure to press into the sides, and trim the excess. Prick all over the base of each tart with a fork. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 180 celsius (355 Fahrenheit) and line the tarts with baking paper or foil and fill with baking weights or beans. Bake for 10 minutes before removing the baking paper and weights and baking for a further 5 to 7 minutes or until the base is dry and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
• Place the milk and vanilla seeds and pod in [amazon_link id="B0030EG30O" target="_blank" ]small saucepan[/amazon_link] over a medium high heat and bring to just below boiling point. Turn the heat off and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. To make the vanilla pastry cream filling, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and flour in a bowl until well combined. Remove the vanilla pod and return the pan to a medium high heat and just before it starts to boil remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture until all the milk has been added and the mixture is well combined. By gradually adding the milk this will minimise the risk of the eggs curdling. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until thickened and the mixture is thick and glossy. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl (this step is optional but will help ensure a smooth custard) and cover with plastic wrap to prevent skin forming and refrigerate until cold.
• Just before serving fill each tart with custard and top with the sliced strawberries. Combine the jam and boiling water in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to brush the jam mixture onto the strawberries.

STRAWBERRY PIE GLAZE WITH JELLO

Steps:

• Thaw the Marie Callender pie crust 10 minutes before baking and use a fork to poke holes on the crust.
• Preheat oven 400F and bake it for 12-15 minutes until is golden brown. Then, let it cool down.
• Wash and soak 2 pounds of fresh strawberries in a bowl for a few minutes.
• In the meanwhile, put a small pack (3 oz) strawberry jello powder, 1/2 cup of sugar (can use more or less depends on your sweetness), 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 cup of water into a pot mix them well. Then, turn on fire to small to medium. Keep stirring until it's bubbling.
• After that, let the glaze cool down.
• Drain and dry strawberries with a paper towel. After that, remove the leaves.
• Put and lay the fresh strawberries on the baked pie crust.
• Next, pour the glaze over the strawberries.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY GLAZE AT HOME

Steps:

• The first thing we need is to make strawberry pureé. For this, you will want to mash the strawberries as much as you can with a fork. Of course, this will be easier if your strawberries are a bit overripe. But if they are not, do not worry, just put them into a food processor or blender and they will be ready in no time!Mix your sugar and cornstarch together in a medium bowl.
• Bring your saucepan over to medium heat and add your sugar and cornstarch.
• Add your water and mix until everything is dissolved.
• Next, you will want to pour in your strawberry pureé and mix it all together until it is well combined.
• Bring it to a boil and turn the heat back down to a slow simmer for 5 minutes.
• Take it out of the heat and pour it into a bowl where you can use it from or store. Let it cool down for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Your glaze is ready to be used! Of course, it will need to cool further depending on what you are going to use it for. For a cheesecake, you could use it warm.

FRESH STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place pastry dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out dough to a round disk about 1/8-inch thick and 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
• Brush outside 2 inches around the edges of circle lightly with water. Tightly curl up a bit of the edge of the dough to give it a rounder shape with a slightly thickened edge. If some edges are thicker than others, pinch off excess and add to thinner edges forming a circle with even edges. Roll each edge again just once to make the edges thick enough to crimp. Crimp crust with your floured fingers.
• Use a fork to "dock" the bottom surface, covering it with tiny holes to prevent the dough from bubbling up as it bakes.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes. Do not turn off the oven.
• Place cream cheese, creme fraiche, egg yolk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest in mixing bowl. Mix together thoroughly. Carefully pour a thin layer of mixture evenly into pastry shell (you may not need all the cheese mixture).
• Transfer filled tart to oven. Bake until cheese layer is set and crust is browned, about 20 minutes. Let tart cool completely to room temperature before adding berries.
• Arrange berries cut side down, pointy end out starting with the larger berries around the edges. You can lean strawberries up a bit as your work your way toward the center. Cut some berry halves in half again to fit into any gaps on the cheese layer.
• Place apricot jam and 2 teaspoons water in saucepan. Heat over low heat until thin enough to brush. Let cool slightly before brushing generously over all berries and crust. Transfer tart to serving plate.

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth, but not fluffy. Mix in the egg until combined, then add the flour. Bring together with your hands to form a dough. Wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
• Dust a surface with flour and roll out the pastry to a 26cm circle (or 3cm bigger than your tin). Line a 23cm fluted tart tin with the pastry, leaving an overhang. Prick the base with a fork to stop any air bubbles forming. Chill for 30 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the pastry case with a scrunched up sheet of baking parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans and bake for 15-20 mins more until crisp and golden. Leave in the tin to cool.
• To make the crème pâtissière, heat the milk, cream and vanilla in a pan over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring up to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk the yolks and sugar in a bowl for 3 mins until pale, then stir in the cornflour until combined. Pour a quarter of the hot cream over the egg mix, whisking continuously, then pour the warm egg mix into the pan with the rest of the cream. Stir over a low-medium heat for 5-8 mins until the crème pâtissière thickens. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 15 mins, whisking occasionally. Gradually whisk in the butter until smooth, cover and put in the fridge until needed.
• Beat the strawberry jam to loosen it, then spread over the bottom of the pastry case. Put the crème pâtissière into a piping bag and pipe in a spiral on top of the jam. Arrange the strawberries on top in a pattern. Heat the apricot jam in a small pan with 1 tbsp water until warm. Whisk to loosen the jam, then leave to cool slightly. Brush over the top of the strawberries.
