Tart Crust

Crème Fraîche Whipped Cream

Method

Prepare Tart Crust

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan and trim the excess. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

  3. 3

    Blind Bake the Crust

    Line the tart crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for an additional 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.

Prepare Filling

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tart Shell

    Pour the fruit mixture into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.

  3. 6

    Bake the Tart

    Bake the filled tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Make Crème Fraîche Whipped Cream

  1. 7

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine crème fraîche, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium speed until soft peaks form.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Slice the cooled strawberry rhubarb tart and serve with a generous dollop of crème fraîche whipped cream on top.
