Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 25 min.
Line the tart mould or tin with 300 g Sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) and bake "blind".
Stage 2 - 7 min.
Coat the inside with white chocolate. This is not essential, but helps to keep the pastry crisp for longer.
Stage 3 - 20 min.
Stage 4 - 20 min.
Prepare the confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream).
Stage 5 - 2 min.
When the custard has cooled, beat in 2 tablespoons verveine liqueur using a whisk.
Stage 6 - 1 min.
Tip the chantilly cream into the custard...
Stage 7 - 3 min.
... and fold in gently with a soft spatula to make a light cream.
Stage 8 - 3 min.
Spread the cream in the bottom of the tart case (use a forcing bag if possible to make this easier).
Stage 9 - 10 min.
Then top with strawberries, pressing them a little way into the cream to hold them in place.
Keep in the fridge, but leave at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
