Strawberry Pie

A classic strawberry tart with a crispy shortcrust pastry base, sweet almond filling, airy pastry cream, and fresh strawberries on top. A delightful summer tart, perfect for coffee or the dessert table. In this recipe, I use a tart ring to bake the shortcrust pastry, which makes it extra crispy and beautiful. If you don't have a tart ring, you can also use a springform pan or a regular tart pan. However, this will make the shortcrust pastry less crispy, as it won't get air circulating around the edges.

Raspberry Slices

Raspberry Slices

Raspberry slices are a classic Danish pastry consisting of two layers of shortcrust pastry with a sweet layer of raspberry jam in between. They are typically topped with icing and often sprinkled with carnival sprinkles, adding an extra sweet touch. They are perfect for the coffee table, as a cozy weekend cake, or when you need a little extra indulgence. Some prefer to assemble them with jam after they have been baked, but I think it gives an extra delicious flavor to bake the jam with it, making it more of a cake rather than just a biscuit with jam - of course, you choose yourself.
