Ingredients

  • 1 pack pre-rolled puff pastry
  • 300 g | 10 1/2oz mascarpone
  • 120 ml | 1/2 cup single cream
  • 80 g | 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 3 tbsp flaked almonds
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 300 g | 1 1/2 cups strawberries halved
  • icing sugar to dust

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Unroll your puff pastry keeping it on the paper it comes rolled in.
  2. Cut into rectangles or squares and score a small border on each. Prick inside the border with a fork.
  3. Spread the pastry slightly apart and brush the edges with the beaten egg.
  4. Sprinkle the borders with a little sugar or flaked almonds and transfer to a baking tray.
  5. Bake for 16 minutes, turning the tray around midway. Check the tarts are not colouring too much – if they are lower the oven temperature to 180C (350F).
  6. Gently press down the middle of each tart to flatten and leave them to cool completely.
  7. Put the icing sugar, mascarpone, single cream and vanilla paste in a bowl and whisk until you have soft peaks.
  8. Fill each tart with a generous swirl of cream and top with fresh strawberries.
  9. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
