Preparation

Step 1

For 2 tarts I used about 3 ounces of strawberries

Almond Pastry - In a bowl, combine flour, ground almonds, sugar, salt and vanilla sugar. Mix the egg and add to the mixture. Add the butter cut into pieces and knead quickly (use the dough hook of a mixer if you have one) to obtain a smooth mixture and continue to form a smooth ball.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. After 2 hours spread out the dough (be careful it is relatively brittle) and make a crust in the small tart pans.

Step 2

The pastry cream: Boil the milk, and meanwhile, beat the egg yolks and sugar. Add the cornstarch and mix well then add the boiling milk over the mixture and mix well then put on low heat until thickened. Let cool before using.

Just before serving, garnish the tart shells with pastry cream and top with small strawberries.
