Strawberries and cream tart

Step 1/4

• 37½ g flour
• 12½ g whole-grain flour
• 12½ g almond flour
• 50 g butter
• 25 g sugar
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ egg
• salt

• bowl (large)
• cutting board
• knife
• plastic wrap

For the dough, add flour, whole-grain flour and almond flour to a large bowl. Cube the cold butter, add to the flour mix and knead with your hands to a sand-like consistency. Now add some sugar, baking powder, salt and the egg, and knead into a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film, and leave to rest for approx. 1 hr.

Step 2/4

• 100 ml milk
• 17½ g sugar
• 5 ml cream
• ¼ package vanilla pudding powder

• pot (small)
• whisk
• rubber spatula
• bowl (large)
• bowl (small)

For the filling, heat milk with the remaining sugar in a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix some of the cream with the pudding powder. When the milk starts to boil, stir in the pudding mixture until dissolved, and let simmer for approx. 2 min. Then pour into a bowl, cover the surface of the pudding with cling film, and leave to cool in the fridge.

Step 3/4

• butter (for greasing)

• oven
• parchment paper
• rolling pin
• pie dish (10 in.)
• pie weights

Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, place in a greased pie dish, trim the edges if needed, and prick all over with a fork. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top, fill with pie weights and bake in the preheated oven for 20 min. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Step 4/4

• 45 ml cream
• 175 g strawberries
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tbsp coconut sugar
• ¼ lemon zest

• hand mixer with beaters
• bowl (large)
• fine grater

Whip the remaining cream with a hand mixer until stiff. Then whip the cooled vanilla pudding briefly with the hand mixer and fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Remove the tart base from the pie dish and fill with the vanilla pudding cream. Slice the strawberries into quarters and toss in a bowl with the vanilla extract, coconut sugar and lemon zest. Arrange the strawberries in a circle around the outside edge and work your way into the middle, with the cut edge facing downwards. Finally let chill for approx. another 1 hr. before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature and enjoy!
