Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets or neighborhood markets. For the table cream, if unavailable, a thick heavy cream or canned cream can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Prepare the jelly according to the package instructions and refrigerate until it reaches an egg-white consistency.
- Whisk the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolks, milk, and cornstarch together in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens into a rich cream.
- Continue stirring without stopping to prevent the cream from clumping or burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Set the cream aside and allow it to cool until it reaches room temperature or is lukewarm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dough ingredients, adding the flour gradually until the mixture is smooth and pulls away from your hands.
- Press the dough evenly over the bottom and sides of a medium or large baking dish.
- 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 allow the crust to cool completely before assembling the tart.
- Spread the prepared cream evenly over the baked crust.
- Arrange the strawberries, sliced crosswise, over the layer of cream.
- Cover the tart with the chilled jelly that has reached an egg-white consistency.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
