STRAWBERRY TARTS



Strawberry Tarts image

Simple is best. A strawberry tart is a classic British staple in the pastry category. This recipe recreates the original, wherever you are.

Provided by Christina Conte (Christina's Cucina)

Categories     Bread, Cookies & Pastries

Time 57m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 Quick and Easy pie pastry (full recipe on my site will make about 48 tarts)
24 large strawberries, , hulled, washed and dried, preferably all relatively similar in size
8 oz whipping cream, whipped
1/2 tub Marie's Strawberry glaze (no corn syrup in this glaze)

Steps:

  • Roll out the pastry to about 1/8" thick and cut a little larger than the mold or tin you will use.
  • Gently press the pastry into the mold.
  • Continue until the tarts are made, then prick the bottom of each base with fork tines. This will prevent bubbles and raised pastry from ruining the tartlets.
  • Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
  • These can be kept in a tin for a week, and filled just prior to serving.
  • To make strawberry tarts, fill the base with the whipped cream, then place a strawberry (or strawberries, depending on the size of the base and berries.)
  • Next, coat the strawberries with glaze.
  • Serve immediately or keep in fridge until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY TARTS



Strawberry Tarts image

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.

STRAWBERRY TRUFFLES



Strawberry Truffles image

A new spin on the usual chocolate-covered strawberries.

Provided by Melissa Gray

Time 1h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium fresh strawberries, trimmed
2 ⅓ cups (14 oz.) white chocolate chips (from 2 [11-oz.] pkg.)
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Red liquid food coloring (optional)
2 tablespoons pink sanding sugar
2 tablespoons white sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Place strawberries in a food processor or blender; process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, about 30 seconds. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl, pressing pulp with the back of a spoon to release all juices; discard pulp. Measure ¼ cup strawberry puree.
  • Combine white chocolate chips, whipping cream, and ¼ cup strawberry puree in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted (mixture will be thick), about 45 to 60 seconds total. Stir in lemon zest and salt until well combined. Stir in food coloring, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1½ to 2 hours.
  • Stir together pink and white sanding sugars in a shallow dish. Scoop chilled white chocolate mixture into 24 portions using the large side of a melon baller or a small (about 1¼ inches in diameter) cookie scoop. Working with 1 portion at a time and using hands, roll each portion into a ball, and place in sugar mixture, tossing gently to coat fully. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week or in freezer for up to 2 months. Let chilled truffles stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Or (if frozen) thaw truffles in refrigerator overnight.

STRAWBERRY TART



Strawberry tart image

Wow family and friends with a stunning strawberry tart. A lovely centrepiece dessert for summer dining, it's made with homemade pastry and crème pâtissière

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

125g unsalted butter , softened slightly
85g icing sugar
1 egg
200g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
100g strawberry jam
500g strawberries , (small hulled, large sliced)
2 tbsp apricot jam
300ml milk
150ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
60g caster sugar
3½ tbsp cornflour
50g butter , cubed and softened

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.

STRAWBERRY TART



Strawberry Tart image

Who doesn't love strawberries? This tart pairs them with a super simple, slightly sweetened cream-cheese filling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for handling dough
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 bar (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 to 2 pounds strawberries, hulled and halved
1/4 cup seedless red currant jelly

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend flour, butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and salt until moist crumbs form (this may take up to 1 minute). Transfer dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • With floured fingers, press dough evenly into pan and up sides. Dip a dry-measuring cup in flour, and use it to press dough firmly into bottom and against sides of pan. Freeze crust until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Using a fork, prick crust all over. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes, pressing down gently once or twice with a spoon during baking if crust puffs up. Cool completely in pan.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until smooth; spread mixture evenly in bottom of baked crust (still in tart pan).
  • Starting from outside edge, arrange strawberry halves, stemmed side down, in tight concentric circles on cream cheese.
  • In a small saucepan, heat jelly on medium-low until liquefied. Gently brush strawberries with jelly; let set at least 20 minutes. Chill in pan at least 1 hour (and up to 6 hours); remove from pan just before serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is chilled before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and produce stiffer peaks.
  • When folding the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, do it gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
  • To create a smooth and glossy ganache, stir it constantly as it cools.
  • For a neater appearance, trim the edges of the tart shells before filling them.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can spoon the ganache into the tart shells.
  • Top the tarts with fresh strawberries for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

These Strawberry Truffle Tarts are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, creamy ganache filling, and fresh strawberry topping, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give these tarts a try. You won't be disappointed!
