Line the tart mould or tin with 300 g sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) and bake "blind".

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.

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.
