Strawberry pies and tarts (28)

Sliced strawberries are coated with a strawberry jam glaze, arranged on a digestive biscuit base, chilled and served with whipped cream. A lovely summer barbecue or picnic dessert that children simply adore.

I love this French-style tart which has a creme patissiere or custard cream filling. It's topped with fresh strawberries and glazed with apricot jam. I think it tastes best at room temperature or chilled. To save time, use ready rolled shortcrust pastry.

This strawberry tart is simply the best precisely because it is so simple! With luscious, ruby red, ripe strawberries, you don't need to fuss. Homemade is the way to go for best results, but in a pinch a shop-bought pastry case and custard will still work a treat.

This recipe makes 12 individual tarts - but you will need to either buy or make the pastry shells first. Top with whipped cream or custard for a heavenly summer dessert!

Fresh strawberries are arranged in a shopbought pastry case, then covered with a fresh strawberry and Grand Marnier glaze. Absolutely easy and delicious! Serve with whipped cream.
