How to make Easy Strawberry Tart
For the tart crust
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the sifted flour, butter cut into small pieces, sugar, salt, and the beaten egg.
- Step 2
Mix all the ingredients until you achieve a soft dough. Use this dough to line a tart pan.
- Step 3
Prick the base of the dough with a fork and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes.
For the cream filling
- Step 1
In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and gradually add the cornstarch. Slowly pour in the warm milk while continuing to mix.
- Step 3
Cook the mixture over low heat until it thickens. Remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until fully incorporated to create a smooth cream.
- Step 4
Let the cream cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
Assembling the tart
- Step 1
Once the cream has cooled, pour it into the baked tart crust.
- Step 2
Arrange the strawberries, previously washed and with their stems removed, on top of the cream.
- Step 3
Refrigerate the tart for at least three hours.

How long can the tart be stored?
The tart can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Cover it tightly to prevent the strawberries from drying out.
Can I substitute cornstarch with another thickener?

What can I serve alongside the tart?
The tart pairs well with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
