Strawberry Tart

The delicious strawberry tart made with mascarpone cheese and refreshing homemade fruit jam is the most delightful dessert you are deserving of this spring.

Strawberry tart is a crispy pastry shell filled with creamy mascarpone cheese and fresh strawberries on the top. Fruit tart is very common in French pastry, such as lemon tart, which is the most welcomed dessert. However, the strawberry tart is an ordinary dessert for winter and spring since it is the best season for the taste. The sweet and refreshing strawberries add to the creamy cheese made this pastry dessert even better.

How to make a perfectly crispy crust?

• The tart shell is made with all-purpose flour, almond flour, butter, egg yolk, sugar, and salt. The ingredients are the same as making the Sumikko Gurashi Butter Cookies in my previous post. The best thing about this recipe is it lasts the crispy texture longer than others, and easy to make.
• You don’t need to worry about if the shell will be poped or crushed after baking after you try this recipe. The only essential tip for this crispy shell is to let it set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes after you combined all the ingredients into the dough.
• And always bake the plain shell separately, even though you need the fillings to be baked as well.
• Let the baked shell cool down completely before adding the fillings.

No baking filling

• This is a no baking filling fruit tart made with mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, egg yolk, sugar, and gelatin. The chilled creamy filling tastes like strawberry milk pudding which is the best and unique than a regular tart.

How long does the strawberry tart last?

• It is recommended to consume the fruit tart within 3 days for the best taste while keeping it in the refrigerator with plastic wrap covered.

How to serve with the strawberry tart?

• I made this heart-shaped strawberry tart especially for Valentine’s day, which is a perfect dessert for a lovely day.
• Enjoy this delightful dessert with Strawberry Matcha Latte or Homemade Milk Tea.
