Strawberry Tart

You’ll fall in love with this cheerful polka dotted strawberry tart. It’s delicious and decadent but has a surprisingly light finish with a nice play of textures.

I’ve been on a tart making binge lately. These little objects can be infinitely modified into all sorts of shapes, flavors, textures and even moods. My strawberry tart is practically bubbling with cheerfulness. Those pink dots were a effort of love to make but I just LOVE the effect!
