Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Strawberry tartlets are perfect as a dessert for a dinner party or party. Serve them as a buffet dessert or for a special occasion.
Storage: You can store the tartlets in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. It’s best to eat them fresh, as the pastry base tends to lose its crispness over time.
Variations
With other fruits: You can replace the strawberries with other seasonal fruits such as peaches, blueberries, kiwis, or raspberries.
With lemon cream: You can make a lemon cream instead of the pastry cream for a fresh, citrusy touch.
Gluten-free version: For a gluten-free version, you can use gluten-free flour for the pastry base.
