Where to find ingredients
Find dairy products, eggs, and produce in local supermarkets or fresh food markets. Use cornstarch and baking powder from the baking aisle. If margarine is unavailable, high-quality unsalted butter is an excellent substitute. Gelatin can be found in the dessert or baking aisle.
Preparation method
- Prepare the gelatin according to package instructions and refrigerate until it reaches an egg-white-like consistency.
- Combine the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolks, milk, and cornstarch in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens into a rich custard.
- Continue stirring continuously to prevent the custard from clumping or burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Set the cream aside and allow it to cool until it reaches lukewarm or room temperature.
- In a bowl, mix the dough ingredients, adding flour gradually until the dough no longer sticks to your hands.
- Line the bottom and sides of a medium or large baking dish with the prepared dough.
- Prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated medium oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the crust is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely before assembling the tart.
- Spread the cooled cream evenly over the baked crust.
- Arrange the strawberries, sliced crosswise, over the cream layer.
- Cover the tart with the gelatin that has reached an egg-white-like consistency.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
