Say hello to yet another simple and elegant dessert! :) Luscious red strawberries sitting on sublime vanilla custard and the crunch of buttery pastry…you have to try this! I tried my hands at making the pastry cream from scratch here and not using the store bought custard powder. For one, I wanted to know what the fuss was all about making a ‘crème pâtissière’. It is a staple with every baker and basically wanted to know if an amateur like me could pull it off. Trust me it is easy! Ensure that you never take your eyes off it and never keep your whisk down for this one. :) <br /> <br />There are a couple of steps in getting this treat assembled. All you need is a good tart, a good custard, some beautiful strawberries or berries of your choice … and there you have it.. voila! Don’t be hassled by these steps. The Tart dough/ baked tarts and the pastry cream itself can be made ahead of time :) So it leaves you with, just the assembly – either for a planned evening or if you have unexpected guests coming over. I love these sublime tarts – divine and doesn’t weigh you down.
