Serves 8

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups
Unsalted butter
1/2 cup, chilled and cubed
Granulated sugar
1/4 cup
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Egg yolks
2 large
Strawberry jam
1/3 cup
Fresh strawberries
2 cups, hulled and sliced
Powdered sugar
for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the flour, chilled butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the egg yolks and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
  6. Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the bottom of the tart shell, creating a flavorful base.
  7. Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries artfully on top of the jam, ensuring an even distribution for both aesthetics and flavor.
  8. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fragrant.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Before serving, dust the top of the tart with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and elegance.
  11. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the crust.
  • 💡 You can substitute the strawberry jam with other fruit jams like raspberry or apricot for a delightful twist.
  • 💡 If you prefer a firmer filling, you can mix the sliced strawberries with a bit of cornstarch and sugar before layering them on the tart.
