Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-baked tart shell
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. This will help the gelatin dissolve and activate properly.
- Warm the bloomed gelatin mixture gently in a microwave or over low heat, stirring until completely dissolved and clear. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Slowly fold the cooled gelatin mixture into the whipped cream, ensuring it's evenly incorporated without deflating the cream.
- Carefully arrange sliced fresh strawberries in a decorative pattern on the bottom of the pre-baked tart shell.
- Gently pour the cream mixture over the strawberries, making sure to fill all spaces and cover the fruits evenly.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2-3 hours or until the cream is fully set and firm.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberry slices or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy texture and fresh strawberry flavor.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother cream and better mixing.
- When blooming gelatin, ensure water is cold to help it dissolve evenly.
- Whip cream to soft peaks—avoid over-beating to maintain a light texture.
- For a picture-perfect presentation, arrange strawberry slices symmetrically.
- Chill the tart thoroughly to allow the cream to set completely.
- Use the freshest strawberries possible for maximum flavor.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought pre-baked tart shell.
- For an extra touch, consider brushing strawberries with a light honey glaze.
- Serve chilled for the most refreshing and delightful dessert experience.
