Splendid Strawberry Tart

• 7 1/2 ounces Amaretti Cookies Italian, available in grocery and specialty shops
• 7 tablespoons salted butter melted
• 2 cups creme fraiche or sour cream
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 pound strawberries washed, topped and sliced in 1/2

1. Using a rolling pin, lightly tap the cookies to shatter them, then roll the cookies until they are a smooth and consistent crumb.
2. Put the cookies crumbs into a mixing bowl and add the melted butter, mix thoroughly.
3. Once the crust ingredients are mixed press them into the tart pan. Cover the mixture in plastic wrap and give the crust a final "smoothing" with your hands.
4. Chill the crust for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days.
5. Cream together the creme fraiche and the brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved and the creme is a consistent color.
6. Up to 3 hours before serving, one can finish making the tart.
7. Spoon all of the creme onto the crust and smooth it with a spatula.
8. Allow about a 1 inch margin of crust around the perimeter of the tart.
