Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 17

130 g plain (all purp) flour ((1 cup / 4.6oz))
85 g unsalted butter, cubed and cold ((3oz / 3/4 stick))
2 tablespoons granulated sugar ((note 1))
Pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
1 ½ tablespoons cold water ((note 1))
½ cup strawberry jam ((155g / 5.5oz))
1 tablespoon boiling water ((note 1))
½ teaspoon gelatine powder
2 tablespoons milk ((note 1))
¼ cup caster (superfine) sugar
113 g unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
130 g icing (powdered) sugar ((1 cup / 4.6oz))
4-5 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons dutch cocoa (natural is also fine)
Pink food colouring (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the flour, butter, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until it looks like wet sand. Add the egg yolk and pulse until mixed through. Finally add the ice water ½ tablespoon at a time and pulse between each until the dough just starts clumping together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly flour surface and knead just until smooth (not for too long). Press into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / 180C fan forced. Grease and lightly flour a 12 hole muffin tin (notes)
  • Roll the dough out to about 3mm thick and use a large round cookie cutter (8.5cm / 3.5in), to cut rounds of pastry. Gently drop them down into each hole of the muffin tin, making sure they're level. The pastry should come about 2cm up the side of the holes. Return to fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Prick the base of each pastry case with a fork and bake for around 10-12 minutes until starting to turn golden. Then transfer to a cooling rack until completely cooled.
  • Spread about 1.5 teaspoons of jam over the base of each tart case.
  • Tip the boiling water into a small dish and sprinkle the gelatine over the top. Mix with a fork, then allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and milk to a small saucepan and heat over very low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Give the gelatine another stir, then pour it into the hot milk and stir until completely dissolved.
  • Let the milk mixture cool to room temperature before continuing
  • Beat the butter and vanilla until light and creamy. Slowly pour in the milk mixture while constantly beating.
  • Spread the mock cream over the tarts and use a spatula to make the top level.
  • Mix the sifted icing sugar and the milk together until you have a smooth spreadable consistency (see notes).
  • Transfer half to a separate bowl and add the cocoa, mix well.
  • In the other half add just a small amount of pink food colouring (optional) and mix.
  • Use a small spatula to spread the pink icing over half of each tart then allow them to set a little at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Repeat with the chocolate icing.
