I took a trip to my local farmer’s market last weekend and found inspiration in so many gorgeous produce. I just wanted to buy everything! I was still contemplating on what to make for dessert when I saw these beautiful strawberries and just knew that I just had to use them in some way. I wavered back and forth between Strawberry Cream Pie, Strawberry Cake, or a Strawberry Tart. Finally settling on a tart because I already had some dough in the freezer. I absolutely love recipes where separate components can be made ahead of time. The tart dough just had to be thawed out and blind baked, the pastry cream made the day ahead and left to chill and set up, and the strawberries were simply washed and sliced to became the star of this amazingly delicious and decadent dessert, garnished with mint from my garden. ![]() Sweet Tart Crust: 1 1/2 c flour 1/3 c powdered sugar pinch of salt 1/2 c butter, diced 1 large egg yolk 2 tsp heavy cream 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream: 2 c milk 1 vanilla bean (scraped) or 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste 4 egg yolks 2 tbsp sugar 1/4 c cornstarch 2 tbsp butter
