Ingredients

  • 320g sheet all butter puff pastry
  • 1 tbsp Essential British Free Range Whole Milk, plus extra for brushing
  • tbsp caster sugar
  • 350g Waitrose Strawberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 250g tub Essential Mascarpone
  • 3 tbsp lemon curd

Method

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
