Mini Strawberry Tarts
The weather was not well last week, I woke up having a headache almost every day - _-". And because of this reason, I didn't have much idea for baking too.
Anyway, when I tried to think about something that will make me feel better, berries came to my mind.
And this recipe began.
Simple tart that is made from almond cream and fresh strawberries.
The small (6 cm.) tart pastry is filled with strawberry filling and almond cream, then topped with whipped cream and strawberries. I really love the size of this tart, it's cute and it's the right size for 1 person, well you may think that lining a small tart is hard but after 2-3 pieces it will be easier.
You can prepare the base by baking tart pastry and almond cream the day before and decorate it with cream and strawberries before serving.
