Ingredients for 4 people:
-
1 shortcrust pastry -
500 g of fresh strawberries -
2 vanilla pods or 1 20 cm pod
-
300 ml of whole milk -
6 egg yolks -
150 g of sugar
Instructions :
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare the pastry: Spread the shortcrust pastry in a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing during baking. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Infuse the vanilla: In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat without boiling. Split the vanilla pods in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Add the seeds and pods to the hot milk. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it steep for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the cream: In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy. This step is important to give the cream a light texture.
- Stir in the milk: Remove the vanilla pods from the brewed milk, then slowly pour the hot milk into the egg-sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. Return the mixture to the saucepan.
- Cook the cream: Cook the cream over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to boil the cream. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Pour the cream: Pour the vanilla cream over the cooled tart base and spread it evenly.
- Arrange the strawberries: Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Arrange them attractively on the cream to garnish the tart.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the cream to firm up. Serve chilled and enjoy!
