Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 35 min.
Prepare 700 g confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream), cover and leave to cool, stirring from time to time with a whisk.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 1 hour
Roll out the sweetcrust pastry, line the tart tin or mould, then bake blind. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 20 min.
If possible, seal the bottom of the pastry case with 50 g white chocolate.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 10 min.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.
Cut the stalks off the strawberries and arrange them on top of the custard layer.
There are various ways to do this. The simplest, in my opinion, is to stand whole fruit vertically and work inwards towards the centre.
