Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores or markets. Condensed milk and table cream are pantry staples, while fresh strawberries and baking supplies are standard in the produce and baking aisles. Cornstarch is a common thickener available in the baking section.
Preparation method
- Prepare the gelatin according to package instructions and refrigerate until it reaches an egg-white consistency
- Combine the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolks, milk, and cornstarch in a saucepan
- Cook over heat, stirring constantly until it begins to boil and forms a thick custard
- Continue stirring without stopping to prevent the custard from clumping or burning at the bottom of the pan
- Set the custard aside and let it cool until it is lukewarm or reaches room temperature
- In a bowl, mix the dough ingredients, adding flour gradually until the mixture no longer sticks 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 crust is lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool before assembling the tart
- Spread the custard over the baked crust
- Arrange the sliced strawberries crosswise over the custard layer
- Cover the tart with the gelatin once it has reached an egg-white consistency
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving
