Strawberry Tarts
Strawberry Tarts are delicate, small pastries made by pressing pie pastry into molds, baking until golden, then filling with whipped cream and topped with fresh strawberries coated in a sweet, corn syrup-free strawberry glaze. These tarts offer a crisp, buttery shell contrasting with light cream and fruity berries, suitable for dessert or a special treat. The recipe yields about 24 tarts using half the pie pastry recipe provided.

Ingredients
- ½ recipe pie pastry (see NOTES for recipe- the full amount will make about 48 tarts)
- 24 large strawberries hulled, washed, and dried (preferably all relatively similar in size)
- 8 oz cream whipped
- ½ tub strawberry glaze no corn syrup in this glaze, brand Marie's
Instructions
- Roll out the pastry to about ⅛" thick and cut a little larger than the mold or tin you will use.
- Gently press the pastry into the mold.
- Continue until the tarts are made, then prick the bottom of each base with fork tines. This will prevent bubbles and raised pastry from ruining the tartlets.
- Bake at 375℉/ 190℃ for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- These can be kept in a tin for a week, and filled just prior to serving.
- To make strawberry tarts, fill the base with the whipped cream, then place a strawberry (or strawberries, depending on the size of the base and berries.)
- Next, coat the strawberries with glaze.
- Serve immediately or keep in fridge until ready to serve.

Notes
- One full pie pastry recipe yields about 48 tartlet crusts; this recipe uses half for 24 tarts.
- Fill tarts just before serving to keep pastry crisp and prevent sogginess.
- Choose strawberries of similar size for consistent presentation and baking results.
- Store baked but unfilled tart shells in a tin for up to one week.
