"This fruity and creamy tart featuring the combination of fresh basil, aromatic strawberries and creamy panna cotta proves to be something special. The sweetness of the fruit comes out beautifully through the fresh strawberries and harmonizes nicely with the other components. Perfect for summer – as a dessert or for your afternoon coffee break. Since the tart needs some cooling time, we recommend that you prepare it the day before. It is important to chill the tart for at least another hour after adding the strawberry puree!"

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. For the almond shortcrust, knead the cold butter, sugar, egg yolk, flour, ground almonds and salt into a dough, form into a ball and chill for approximately 10 minutes. Roll out the chilled dough with a rolling pin until approximately 5 mm thin and line the tart tin (28 cm) with it. If necessary, cut off the excess edges and prick the base all around with a fork. Cover with baking paper, fill with baking peas and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
