Ingredients
For the crust:
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons cold water
For the filling:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
Step 1: Make the crust
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold and cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cold water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: Roll out the crust
Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, trimming any excess dough. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
Step 3: Make the filling
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the tart
Spread the cooled filling into the cooled crust. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the filling. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
