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.

Roll out the shortcrust pastry thinly and cut out the base with a 23 cm tart ring to fit as the base
Roll the remaining dough into a strip to fit around the edge of the tart ring, press the sides into the tart ring, and prick the base with a fork
Pre-bake the base for 15 minutes at 175°C conventional oven
Prepare the almond filling in the meantime
Almond Filling
Grate the marzipan and whisk it with sugar and butter

Finely chop the chocolate and sprinkle it over the tart
Once the chocolate has melted on the tart, spread it over the tart
