Directions
- 1
Rub the flour, icing sugar, salt and cold butter together with your fingertips until you get a coarse sandy texture. Add the beaten egg and bring the dough together into a ball, working it as little as possible.
- 2
Wrap the dough and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- 3
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Roll the dough out on a floured surface and line a 22 cm loose-bottomed tin. Prick the base with a fork.
- 4
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pastry is nicely golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- 5
Whisk the condensed milk with the plain yogurt, then stir in the dissolved gelatine. Pour this cream over the cooled pastry base and smooth the top.
- 6
In a saucepan, gently heat the washed and hulled strawberries with the sugar and lemon zest for 5 minutes.
- 7
Off the heat, add the dry powdered gelatine straight into the hot strawberries and stir well so it dissolves.
- 8
Let the strawberry topping cool slightly, then spoon it carefully over the yogurt cream.
- 9
Chill the tart for at least 3 hours before releasing it from the tin and serving cold.
💡 Chef's Tip
Pick really ripe, fragrant strawberries — they make all the difference here. For a clean release, run a warm cloth around the side of the tin before opening it. If the gelatine goes lumpy, give the mixture a few more seconds in the microwave and stir again.
