I always suggest that you make the pastry by hand when you first learn to do it, as this helps you get the feel of it and know how to handle it.

You can make it in a food mixer, of course, and this is always a quick and easy way to make pastry without the hard work.

However, a food mixer is not necessary, so if you don't own one, don't rush out to purchase one.

You can always make a larger batch of pastry and freeze some of it for another day, or if you have any leftover, pop that in the freezer to reuse when you need some. It's always great to have some on hand, especially if you have made it at home.

You can make the pastry yourself or if you want an easy option, you can buy the crust/cases ready-made. However, it really is easy to make your own with a little practice and a little know-how!

Just take a look at the pastry recipes and try them for yourself. For this one, you will need the sweet shortcrust pastry, it will give you the most melt-in-the-mouth pastry experience ever!

Once you have made your pastry, you will also need to know how to make a pastry shell, and all you need to do is follow the instructions on the post I have given you above. It may seem a little daunting if you have never made pastry before or indeed this type of French pastry, but it really is worth the time to get to know how to make it; the knowledge will be yours forever!

A delicious strawberry tart recipe that crumbles in your mouth.

This really is a delicious strawberry tart recipe with orange cream cheese filling topped with fresh strawberries! Once you put these little gems out on display, they will disappear very quickly!

Instructions
 

  • Beat together the cheese, orange rind, juice and powdered sugar.
  • Fill the shell or shells with the cheese filling about ¾ full.
  • Halve the strawberries and arrange them on top of the filling.
  • Dust with powdered sugar (optional). 

Notes

  • Using a ready-made tart crust will considerably cut down on the time required to make this dessert.
  • If the crust is also pre-baked, the tarts would only take 10 minutes from start to finish.
  • Wash and dry the strawberries well before placing on the tarts.
