Method

1

Preheat oven to Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

Cut approx 5cm from the end of the pastry and attach to the longer side by pressing together.

2

Roll to a little larger than the tart tin and line the tin, carefully pressing the pastry into the sides of the tin.

Trim off any excess and prick the base with a fork.

3

Line each pastry case with baking paper, fill with baking beans and bake blind for about 10 minutes until pale golden.

4

Remove the beans and paper, and return to the oven for about 5 minutes to dry out the base.

Brush with the egg wash and return to the oven for 3 minutes to finish cooking the pastry.

Set aside to cool down completely in the tartlet tin.

5

For the filling, mix together the mascarpone, double cream, custard powder and vanilla bean paste until well combined.

6

When the tartlet cases have cooled, fill with the filling then arrange the strawberries on top.

7

Place the jam and water into a pan and warm slightly then brush over the strawberries. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes and then serve.
