- Make the the tart crust: Sift the all-purpose flour into a bowl, add the salt, granulated sugar, and chilled butter, and use the back of a fork to mash the butter while you toss the flour over it.
- Add the eggs once the bigger lumps of butter have disappeared.
- Continue mashing and mixing with the fork until everything is crumbly as shown in the photo.
- Gather the dough from step 1 into one mass, wrap in plastic wrap, and rest in the fridge for 2 hours.
- When it has rested, roll out the dough with a rolling pin and press it into the mold.
- Poke air holes in the bottom with a fork, and bake in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30 minutes.
- Let it cool without removing it from the mold.
- Make the tart filling: Make a meringue as shown in the photo with the egg white and sugar until peaks form.
- Cream the cream cheese and sour cream together in a separate bowl.
- Add the ingredients to the bowls in the listed order, mixing well with an whisk each time.
- (Sift in the powdered ingredients).
- Finish the tart: Switch to a spatula, and gently fold in the meringue in 2 batches,.
- The filling is now complete.
- Pour it into the tart crust and bake in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30 minutes until golden brown, and let cool.
- Remove it from the mold once it has cooled.
- Decorate: Whip the heavy cream and sugar together to make whipped cream that forms soft peaks.
- Place half of the whipped cream in a pastry bag, and squeeze on top of the tart in a circular pattern.
- Cut the stems off the strawberries, and set aside 150g for the sauce.
- Line up as many strawberries as you like on top of the whipped cream.
- Make the strawberry sauce: Place the strawberries for the sauce in a small saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Heat over medium heat and cookfor about 5 minutes while mashing up the strawberries with a wooden spatula to make a fairly liquid sauce.
- Spoon the sauce over the strawberries on top of the cake while it's still hot.
- Finishing touches: After the sauce has cooled, decorate the edges of the tart with the remaining whipped cream.
- (The cream will melt if you decorate while the sauce is still hot, so be careful).
- Garnish with a mint leaf and it's done!
- This is what a cut slice looks like.
- The sauce is so unctuous!
- 3/29 I changed the feeling of it a bit, and baked it as a birthday cake for Papa's family*.
- Please have fun decorating it in various ways^^.
