Prepare the confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream).

... 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).

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.
