Preparation method

- Mix the sweetened condensed milk, table cream, egg yolks, milk, and cornstarch in a saucepan
- Place over heat and stir constantly until it comes to a boil and forms a thick cream
- Continue stirring without stopping to prevent the cream from lumping or burning at the bottom of the pan
- Set the cream aside and let it cool until it is lukewarm or reaches room temperature
- In a bowl, mix the dough ingredients, adding the flour gradually until the dough stops sticking to your hands
- Line the bottom and sides of a medium or large baking dish with the dough
- Prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork
- Bake in a preheated medium oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the dough is lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool before assembling the tart
- Spread the cream over the baked crust
- Arrange the strawberries, sliced crosswise, over the layer of cream
- Cover the tart with the gelatin once it has reached the consistency of egg whites
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving
