Ingredients
- 320g sheet all butter puff pastry
- 1 tbsp Essential British Free Range Whole Milk, plus extra for brushing
- 3½ tbsp caster sugar
- 350g Waitrose Strawberries
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 250g tub Essential Mascarpone
- 3 tbsp lemon curd
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Unroll the pastry sheet, cut into 6 equal squares and arrange on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. Score a 1cm border around the edge of each square and pierce the middles all over with a fork. Brush all over the squares with a little milk and scatter with 2 tbsp caster sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
Meanwhile, hull and cut the strawberries into quarters then toss in a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1½ tbsp caster sugar and the lemon juice; set aside, stirring occasionally. When the tart cases are cooked, gently press down the middles (using the back of a fork or a spatula) and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat the mascarpone with 1 tbsp milk. Spread the mascarpone mixture onto the cooled tart cases and top each with ½ tbsp lemon curd. Finish with the strawberries and their macerating juices. A scattering of shredded mint leaves would work nicely, too, if liked.
Cook’s tip
Leftovers: Lemon curd
Use in place of jam for a citrussy take on a Victoria sponge cake. It’s also delicious with cream on scones, or swirled through thick yogurt for topping a pavlova or pancakes.
