How does Mother’s Day always sneak up so quickly? If you’ve run out of time to find the perfect present (like this thoughtful jewelry), don’t worry — we’re here to save you! What better way to show your mom how much you care than by presenting her with a luxury dessert, made by your own two hands. This strawberry tart only takes 10 minutes to put together, but it looks like it’s straight out of a French patisserie. And to keep with the strawberry theme, make these strawberry and rhubarb Bellini to toast to the woman of the hour!
Ingredients:
- 20-25 medium strawberries
- 1 store-bought sweet pastry tart case
- 2 cups store-bought luxury custard (try to find custard that is very thick, so that it won’t pour out when you cut the tart)
- 1/2 cup seedless strawberry jelly
- small bunch fresh mint
Instructions:
- Remove the stems and slice the strawberries in half.
- Heat the strawberry jelly up in a pan or in the microwave — just until it loosens (about 30 seconds in the microwave). Add a splash of boiling water if you need to loosen it a little more.
- Place the tart case on a serving plate. Spoon in the custard, smoothing it out as you go until it’s half an inch from the top of the pastry case.
- Place a strawberry half in the middle of the tart and, working outward, arrange the strawberries in concentric circles, with the pointy bit of the strawberry toward the center.
- Brush the warm jelly generously all over the top of the tart. Leave to set for a few minutes, then decorate with finely chopped mint leaves.
