What do you do with the season's first strawberries? Strawberry tarts - puff pastry tarts to be precise. This one is made with a cream cheese lemon base and no glaze - yummy, slightly sweet and a perfect afternoon treat.
How to:
- Store bought defrosted puff pastry spread in greased tart shell. Bake for 15 minutes at 400F until golden. Take out and let cool.
- In the meantime mix a cupful of room temperature cream cheese and mix it with 3 tablespoons of sugar (or more if you want it sweeter), add a table spoon of lemon zest and 1-2 table spoons of fresh lemon juice. Carefully spread on cool pastry.
- Cut your strawberries and spread on cream cheese mixture. Enjoy.
*If you prefer to add a glaze, take a tablespoon of strawberry jam and dilute it with bit of apple juice. Spread over strawberries and let set.
looks delicous! happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteI made something similar to this last night but used a more traditional shortcake/scone recipe for the base. Love the season's first strawberries - so good!
