Equipment

  • Food processor or pastry cutter
  • Rolling pin
  • Tart pan with removable bottom
  • Parchment paper
  • Pie weights or dried beans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour for the crust
  • ½ cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam optional, for glazing

Instructions

  • Start by combining the flour, cubed butter, and sugar in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, pulsing just until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, roll out the dough to a circle slightly larger than your tart pan. Press it gently into the pan, trimming off any excess edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing, then line it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled tart shell, creating a smooth layer. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top in a decorative pattern. For an optional glossy finish, warm the apricot jam in the microwave and brush it over the strawberries.
