Strawberries are in season, and nothing beats using seasonal produce!

This recipe for strawberry tart and other fruits of your choice is simply excellent!

For this, you will need a pie crust, pastry cream and some good fresh fruit!

Pie crust:

Mix all the ingredients together in the order listed below:

250g of flour

1 egg + 1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon of baking powder

65 grams of sugar

1 sachet of vanilla sugar 

125g of softened margarine

1/2 tablespoon of oil

A small pinch of salt

Mix all the ingredients in a food processor with the dough hook. Once you have a smooth shortcrust pastry (add a little water if your pastry is too stiff), spread it in a tart tin and bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown (15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven).

Pastry cream: 

6 egg yolks
1 glass of sugar (plastic cup)
2 sachets of vanilla sugar
6 tablespoons of cornflour or 4 tablespoons of flour (lighter with cornflour)
Mix well with a fork
Add 3 and a half glasses of soy milk (you can find soy or almond milk already flavored with vanilla)

Mix all these ingredients together in a plastic bowl while cold. Then pour everything into a saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring until the cream thickens. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface, and let cool.

Once cooled, spread this cream on the bottom of the already baked tart and arrange your washed and dried fruit nicely with individual paper towels. .

Trick : To make your tart shine, heat some apricot jam in a saucepan and, using a brush, gently brush it over the fruit.

You can make large pies as well as mini ones!

Enjoy your meal 🙂
