Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in local supermarkets, grocery stores, or open-air markets. For the cream, table cream is widely available in canned form. If unavailable, heavy cream is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Prepare the gelatin following the package instructions and refrigerate until it reaches an egg white consistency
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolks, milk, and cornstarch in a saucepan
- Place over heat and stir constantly until it begins to boil and reaches a thick custard consistency
- Continue stirring without stopping to prevent the cream from lumping or burning at the bottom of the pan
- Set the custard aside and let it cool until lukewarm or at room temperature
- In a bowl, mix the dough ingredients, adding flour gradually until the mixture 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 crust is lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool down 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 the egg white consistency
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving
