Strawberry Soda Tarts Recipes

STRAWBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Cook tart shells according to package instructions.
• Blend cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until smooth. Spread over cooled crust.
• Over medium heat, in a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar with pureed strawberries.
• Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water. Add to pureed strawberries. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is clear.
• Put individual strawberries on top of filling. Pour pureed strawberries on top.

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY POP TARTS

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, and salt in the basin of a food processor.
• Scatter butter pieces evenly over the surface of the flour mixture and pulse until the butter is cut into the mixture and your mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You should still see some pieces of butter remaining, some may be as large as chocolate chips, this is fine!
• Add sour cream and pulse until sour cream is incorporated, flour is absorbed, and mixture is beginning to cling together.
• Remove dough from food processor (be careful of the blade!) and transfer to a piece of plastic wrap. Form into a ball then flatten into a disk. Chill for at least 30-60 minutes before rolling out. In the meantime, prepare your filling.
• Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan and whisk together until combined.
• Add berries and lemon juice and stir to combine.
• Transfer saucepan to stovetop over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries release their juices and begin to soften. Mash them with a potato masher or large fork until no large pieces remain.
• Stir while the mixture bubbles and cook until it begins to thicken and begins to approach a jelly-like consistency. Note that the filling will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Once the filling begins to thicken, remove from heat and stir in butter until completely combined. Set aside and allow to cool completely before filling pastry (you can speed up the process by placing the filling in the refrigerator).
• Once dough has chilled and filling has cooled, preheat oven to 400F (205C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Prepare egg wash by thoroughly whisking together egg and water.
• Transfer pie crust to a clean, lightly floured surface and dust with additional flour as needed. Roll dough into a rectangle about ⅛-¼" thick then cut into 2.5"x4" (6x10cm) rectangles (I use a rectangular cookie cutter to do this, but you can just use a sharp knife or a pizza wheel!).
• Place one rectangle on prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the surface with egg wash. Drop a rounded Tablespoon of strawberry filling into the center, then top with another rectangle of dough. Use a fork to crimp the sides to seal, then brush the surface of the dough with egg wash. Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to poke 6-8 holes in the surface of the pop tart to allow it to vent.
• Repeat steps above until you have formed all of your pop tarts, then transfer to 400F (205C) oven and bake 15-17 minutes and beginning to turn golden brown. Allow pop tarts to cool on baking sheet before decorating with icing.
• Combine sugar, 1 Tablespoon of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract and whisk until combined. If mixture is too thick, add remaining milk as needed until smooth (if icing becomes too thin, you can always thicken it with a bit more powdered sugar). Icing has reached ideal consistency when you lift the spoon from the icing and the ribbon that drizzles off the spoon holds its shape for several seconds before dissolving back in the bowl.
• Drizzle icing over the center of the pop tarts and top with sprinkles, if using. Allow frosting to harden before serving and enjoying.

EASY STRAWBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Place the butter and icing sugar in a large bowl. Beat together until the mixture is soft and well combined. (You don't need to cream the butter and sugar together as if you were making a cake.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then fold in the flour, being as gentle as possible. You don't want to overwork the mixture or your pastry will be tough.
• Work the mixture into a ball. Wrap the dough in cling film and rest in the fridge for around an hour.
• When you're ready to make the pastry cases, roll out on a sheet of cling film or a very lightly floured surface. Using a fluted cutter, cut out shapes the same size as your tart tin.
• Line your tart tin with the pastry. Prick the base of the pastry all over with a fork. This will stop the pastry from puffing up during baking.
• Chill the pastry cases for about 15-20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180C/160Fan/Gas mark 4. Bake the pastry cases for about 10-12 minutes. They may need a couple of minutes more or less depending on your own oven, so start checking them after 10. They don't take long to go from lightly golden to dark brown!
• When the pastry cases look light golden and crisp, remove from the oven and leave in the tins for about 5-10 minutes before removing. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• When you're ready to assemble the strawberry tarts, whip the cream to soft peaks. Spoon the cream into the cold pastry cases, top with a hulled strawberry and pour over the strawberry sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To Make Glaze: Blend the sugar, cornstarch, and salt; stir into apple juice. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and thick. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Spread a small quantity of the glaze over the bottoms of the shells. Arrange washed and hulled fresh berries over the glaze, slicing if necessary to fit into the tarts. Spoon remaining glaze carefully over the berries, covering them well. Chill for 2 to 4 hours. Serve garnished with whipped cream if desired.

STRAWBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry to about 1/8" thick and cut a little larger than the mold or tin you will use.
• Gently press the pastry into the mold.
• Continue until the tarts are made, then prick the bottom of each base with fork tines. This will prevent bubbles and raised pastry from ruining the tartlets.
• Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
• These can be kept in a tin for a week, and filled just prior to serving.
• To make strawberry tarts, fill the base with the whipped cream, then place a strawberry (or strawberries, depending on the size of the base and berries.)
• Next, coat the strawberries with glaze.
• Serve immediately or keep in fridge until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY CUSTARD TARTS

Steps:

• Begin by making the pastry. Place the flour and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add the egg yolk and water and pulse until the mixture begins to come together to form a ball. Turn the mixture out onto plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and roll out the pastry on a lightly floured bench or silicone baking mat until approximately 5mm thick. Line eight 9.5cm (4 inch) [amazon_link id="B00022447G" target="_blank" ]loose bottom tart tins[/amazon_link] with the pastry, making sure to press into the sides, and trim the excess. Prick all over the base of each tart with a fork. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 180 celsius (355 Fahrenheit) and line the tarts with baking paper or foil and fill with baking weights or beans. Bake for 10 minutes before removing the baking paper and weights and baking for a further 5 to 7 minutes or until the base is dry and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
• Place the milk and vanilla seeds and pod in [amazon_link id="B0030EG30O" target="_blank" ]small saucepan[/amazon_link] over a medium high heat and bring to just below boiling point. Turn the heat off and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. To make the vanilla pastry cream filling, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and flour in a bowl until well combined. Remove the vanilla pod and return the pan to a medium high heat and just before it starts to boil remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture until all the milk has been added and the mixture is well combined. By gradually adding the milk this will minimise the risk of the eggs curdling. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until thickened and the mixture is thick and glossy. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl (this step is optional but will help ensure a smooth custard) and cover with plastic wrap to prevent skin forming and refrigerate until cold.
• Just before serving fill each tart with custard and top with the sliced strawberries. Combine the jam and boiling water in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to brush the jam mixture onto the strawberries.

STRAWBERRY SODA TARTS

Steps:

• For the tart dough: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the edges of the bowl halfway through.
• Meanwhile, combine the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Combine the egg yolks and vanilla in another bowl.
• While the mixer is running, gradually add the egg yolk mixture to the butter mixture. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix until fully incorporated. Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix just until incorporated. Add the cream and mix just until incorporated (do not overmix).
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and press to flatten it into a disk. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is 1/8-inch thick. Stamp out 12 disks from the dough with a 5-inch round cutter; you will have to reroll the
• scraps at least once to get 12.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fit the dough rounds into twelve 3-inch pastry rings. Refrigerate while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Just before baking, trim any excess dough from the pastry rings with a paring knife. Bake until the pastry is light golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool and remove the rings.
• For the strawberry filling: Hull and finely dice the strawberries. Place in a small bowl and stir in the jam. Place 2 teaspoons of filling into each cooled tart shell.
• For the mascarpone mousse: Place the water in a small microwave-safe cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom. After it blooms, microwave the mixture for 10 seconds or until it melts. Make sure it does not get hot.
• Meanwhile, whip the cream to soft peaks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip in the confectioners' sugar and zest. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Remove the whisk attachment and fit the mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat the cream cheese and mascarpone until smooth. Beat in the vanilla. Beat in the gelatin mixture. Working in 2 batches, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula until there are no streaks of whipped cream.
• Transfer the mousse to a disposable pastry bag. Snip off the tip. Pipe the mousse on top of the strawberry jam. Place a slice of strawberry on top of each. Refrigerate until the mousse is set, at least 1 hour.
• For the strawberry soda gelée: Place 1/4 cup of the strawberry soda in a small microwave-safe cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Microwave the gelatin for 10 seconds or until it melts. Make sure it does not get hot. Combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups soda with the gelatin in a large liquid measuring cup (allow the fizzle to subside). Slowly pour the gelée over the set mousse. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
