Equipment

  • 1 tart pan 26 cm

Shortcrust pastry

  • 250 g white flour
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 150 g cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanille extract

Strawberry puree

  • 1 handful strawberries fresh or frozen ones
  • 4 teaspoons icing sugar

Panna Cotta

  • 300 g heavy cream
  • 100 g yoghurt
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 15 g agar agar powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanille extract

Garnish

  • 250 g strawberries

Instructions
 

Shortcrust pastry

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ℃. Spray the tart pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Set out an electric stand mixer. Add the cold butter and the sugar. Cream on high until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract, then slowly add in the flour. Once combined, turn off the mixer as to no overmix the dough.
  • Place the dough in the tart pan and use as much flour as needed and roll it out.
  • Use a fork to poke holes over the surface of the dough. This helps release steam so the dough hold their shape better.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until golden around the edges.
  • Take a plate on the top of the pan then flip over. Let it cool.

Strawberry puree

  • Place the strawberries and the icing sugar into the blender. Puree the berries until smooth. Set aside.

Panna Cotta

  • First, add the cream, sugar and agar agar to a large pan. Whisk until combined.
  • Turn on the flame to medium. Heat until the sugar and agar dissolves and the mixture is just about to start boiling. Heat for another 2-3 mins in low flame, mixing constantly and turn off the flame. 
  • Stir in the yoghurt and lemon zest.

Finish

  • Pour the purree on the shortcrust pastry.
  • Gently pour the mixture into the cooled tart shell.
  • Carefully place the tart in the fridge (not freezer) and chill for at least 4 hours until the pannacotta is set.
  • Decorate with fresh cut strawberries and pistachios.
    Enjoy!
