Strawberry and Pistachio Tart

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry

  • 1 egg for brushing

  • 150 g mascarpone cheese

  • 100 g whipped cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

  • 300 g fresh strawberries, hulled

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp pistachio nuts, chopped

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees (C). Place the puff pastry onto a line oven tray and mark out a border 1.5 cm from the edge with a knife. Spike the middle section of the pastry with a fork and then brush all over with egg. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Allow to cool.

  • Mix together the mascarpone cheese, whipped cream and vanilla in a bowl. Spoon the mixture over the cooled pastry and spread out in an even layer.  

  • Cut the strawberries and scatter over the cream mixture.

  • Drizzle the tart with honey and pistachios before serving.
