STRAWBERRY TARTS WITH CREAM



Strawberry Tarts With Cream image

Double trouble! There are two kinds of strawberries in this tart recipe-three pints of fresh strawberries and three cups of strawberry preserves. Chef Tony Esnault's grandmother made this tart every summer for his birthday. "It's a tradition the whole family is happy to continue," he says.

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting (optional)
2 large egg yolks, plus 1 large egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 pints (6 cups) strawberries, hulled
3 cups strawberry preserves (two 12-ounce jars)
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cream butter and 1 cup sugar until pale and fluffy. Add yolks, and beat until just incorporated. Add flour and salt, and beat until just incorporated. Shape dough into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
  • Roll out each disk into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit each round into the bottoms and up the sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Prick the bottoms of dough with a fork, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush crusts with egg wash. Bake, pressing down crusts if they start to bubble, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, and remove from pans.
  • Trim strawberries to about the same height. Heat preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until loose. Strain through a fine sieve. You will have about 1 cup of solids. Spread 1/2 cup solids over bottom of each tart. Arrange strawberries in a single layer over the top, placing cut sides down. Brush strawberries with just enough warm glaze to make berries shiny. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
  • Beat cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar just until thickened. Cut each tart into quarters, and serve slices topped with whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY TARTS

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 4 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
2 tablespoons cold shortening (recommended: Crisco)
1/4 cup ice water
2 cups Pastry Cream, recipe follows
2 pints whole strawberries, hulled and halved
1/3 cup apricot jelly
3 tablespoons shelled pistachios, halved, optional
5 extra-large egg yolks, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups scalded milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Cognac
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Put the flour mixture in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and shortening and pulse about 10 times, or until the butter is in the size of peas. Add the ice water and process until the dough comes together. Dump on a well-floured board and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roll out the dough and fit into 4 (4 1/2-inch) tart pans with removable sides. Don't stretch the dough when placing it in the pans or it will shrink during baking. Cut off the excess by rolling the pin across the top of each pan. Line the tart shells with a piece of buttered aluminum foil, butter side down, and fill them with dried beans or rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the beans and foil, prick the bottom of the shells all over with a fork, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  • Before serving, fill the tart shells with the pastry cream. Arrange the berries decoratively on top of the cream. Melt the apricot jelly with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the top of the tarts. Sprinkle with pistachios, if using, and serve.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed for 4 minutes, or until very thick. Reduce to low speed, and add the cornstarch.
  • With the mixer still on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Don't be alarmed when the custard comes to a boil and appears to curdle; switch to a whisk and beat vigorously. Cook, whisking constantly, for another 2 minutes; the custard will come together and become very thick, like pudding. Stir in the vanilla, Cognac, butter, and heavy cream. Pour the custard through a sieve into a bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the custard and refrigerate until cold.

A tasty little tart with a light strawberry syrup drizzled over the top that's perfect for dessert for that special someone after a homemade dinner date. This takes a bit of time but is worth it.

Provided by Chef Zachary

Categories     Fruit Tarts

Time 1h25m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups white sugar
2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed, with juice
3 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup water, or as needed
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipping cream
fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, thawed strawberries, and any strawberry juice in a heavy pot over medium heat. Stir constantly and bring to a boil, being careful not to burn the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 30 minutes. Place syrup in the refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 24-cup mini muffin tins.
  • Cut butter into flour until well mixed and granular. Mix in just enough water (1 tablespoon at a time) to make a dough.
  • Roll dough on a floured working surface with a floured rolling pin until very thin and almost transparent. Use a large round cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough. Lightly press circles into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, beat powdered sugar, cream cheese, and whipping cream together until well mixed.
  • Fill each cooled pastry crust with cream cheese filling, then drizzle with strawberry syrup and garnish with mint leaves.

Tips:

  • For the perfect pastry crust, use cold butter and work it quickly into the flour mixture. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • To prevent the pastry from shrinking in the oven, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • When making the strawberry filling, use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If you're using frozen strawberries, thaw them and drain them well before using.
  • To make the whipped cream, use heavy cream that is at least 36% fat. This will help it whip up thick and fluffy.
  • To decorate the tarts, use a variety of fresh berries and herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Strawberry and cream tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a buttery pastry crust, a sweet and tangy strawberry filling, and a fluffy whipped cream topping, these tarts are sure to be a hit.
