Instructions

Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.

Prepare the Puff Pastry

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the pastry to the pan and trim any excess.

Pro tip: Use a fork to prick the base of the pastry to prevent it from puffing up.

Make the Strawberry Filling

In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the strawberries are well-coated.

Pro tip: Macerating helps to draw out the strawberries' natural juices.

Assemble the Tart

Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the pastry in the tart pan.

Pro tip: Ensure the strawberries are evenly distributed for consistent baking.

Bake the Tart

Place the tart in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Pro tip: Rotate the tart halfway through baking for even colour.

Cool and Serve

Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Pro tip: Cooling helps the filling to set, making it easier to slice.

Serving Suggestions

This strawberry tart is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the components ahead of time. Store any leftover tart in the fridge for up to two days. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
