French Style Strawberry Tart Recipe By Tasty

FRENCH STRAWBERRY TART (TARTE AUX FRAISES)

Steps:

• mix softened butter, ground almonds, sugar with a rubber spatula. Add the egg and gently mix just to combine. Cover it with plastic film in contact and refrigerate.
• preheat the oven to 355 F/180 F. Thaw the frozen butter puff pastry and, using a rolling pin, roll it out between two parchment paper sheets to 1/5 inches/5 mm thick. Line a 9-inch/23 cm fluted tart pan, with a removable base, with the pastry, pressing it into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim the edge with a sharp knife and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 25 minutes. Take the pastry out of the oven and lightly press the pastry base to flatten, using a paper towel. Decrease the oven temperature to 300 F/150 C. With a spoon or a small bent spatula, spread the almond cream. Bake for a further 20 minutes. Remove it from the love, let it cool completely in the pan, then transfer the pastry base to a serving platter.
• split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, scrape the seeds with the tip of a knife. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and corn starch with a hand whisk. Pour milk into a medium saucepan, add scraped vanilla seeds, and the pot split in half, and bring to a boil. Remove the vanilla pod, add hot milk while stirring to the egg yolk mixture. Pour the mixture back to the saucepan and cook the cream over low to medium heat, stirring constantly. Stop cooking when the cream thickens. Remove the pot from the heat, add butter, and mix. Transfer the pastry cream to a shallow dish, cover with plastic in contact (it should touch the whole surface of the cream). Let it cool at room temperature.
• whisk the pastry cream with a hand whisk and spread it on top of the baked almond cream. Wash, drain, and hull strawberries. Leave a few of them with green tops for decoration. Cut strawberries in half lengthwise and arrange them over the tart. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
• sprinkle the edge of the tart with icing (powdered) sugar. To highlight strawberry haves, take some, sprinkle them with icing sugar and place them back on the tart. Sprinkle the dessert with chopped pistachios.

CLASSIC FRENCH STRAWBERRY TART RECIPE (TARTE AUX FRAISES)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the butter and 125g of powdered sugar. Then, add the almond powder to the mixture along with the rest of powdered sugar. Add the two eggs and mix until homogeneous. Add the flour and mix until you have a smooth dough. Wrap in a plastic film and place in the fridge for 2 hours, minimum.
• Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) or thermostat 6-7. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin. Use to line a deep, fluted, loose-bottomed tart tin. Trim the excess and prick the base all over with a fork. Line the pastry case with baking paper and fill it with baking beans or rice. Place on a baking sheet and bake "à blanc" for 20 minutes. Remove the beans/rice and paper, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the crème pâtissière. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm up the milk with the vanilla and half of the sugar. In a large bowl, wisk the the rest of the sugar with the yolks until lighter in color and fluffy. Whisk in the cornstarch. When the milk is just simmering, strain half of the warm milk slowly into the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Transfer back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk and over low heat, stirring constantly until it has thickened. Take the pan off the heat and add the cold butter in small pieces and mix. Cover the crème pâtissière with cling film, creating contact with the cream, and set aside to cool completely.
• Spoon the crème pâtissière into the tart, then level the surface with the back of a spoon. Wash, drain, de-stem and halve the strawberries. Place a strawberry half in the center of the start, then arrange concentric rings of fruit around it until all of the crème pâtissière is covered. Optional: gently warm the apricot jam with 2 tbsp water until melted, brush over the strawberries and leave for 2 minutes to set. Serve.

STRAWBERRY TART

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.
