Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Grease and flour the tart tin.
  2. Using a rolling pin, spread out the dough and press it into the mold. ≈ 3 min
  3. Poke the dough with a fork to prevent it from rising too much. ≈ 3 min
  4. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and place the chickpeas or dried beans on top, ensuring they completely cover the dough. ≈ 3 min
  5. Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Take it out of the oven and remove the aluminum foil and the beans.
  7. Next, spread the cream evenly over the tart base. ≈ 4 min
  8. Wash, dry, and cut the strawberries in half, then arrange them on top of the cream, side by side, to cover the entire tart. ≈ 8 min
  9. Once the pie has cooled, spread the jelly or syrup (which should be liquid but not hot) over the top and let it set in the refrigerator.
