Method
A simple summer dessert recipe that can be made with the kids. This easy strawberry tart uses ready-made shortcrust pastry as a time-saving hack, fill with sweetened vanilla cream cheese and juicy strawberry slices for the perfect picnic bite, all ready in just 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Thinly roll out the pastry then, using a 9cm (3½in) fluted cutter, cut out 12 circles. Press them into a bun tin to make pastry cases, then prick them with a fork.
- Scrunch up pieces of foil and press them into each case. Bake for 10mins, then remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 3-4mins. Leave in the tin until cool enough to transfer to a cooling rack.
- Chop half the strawberries and place in a food processor with the icing sugar. Blend to a purée, then sieve. Beat the cream cheese and vanilla, then stir in 2tbsp of the purée.
- Fill the cases with the strawberry mixture. Slice the remaining strawberries and arrange on top. Just before serving, drizzle each of the tarts with a little of the remaining purée.
