Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve already told you how much I enjoy picking fruits, and every year we don’t miss the opportunity to go strawberry picking (at l’\u00cele d’Orl\u00e9ans, the best ! ). This year was no exception, so we planned a one-day stop on the way back from our vacation. Mid-July, the perfect timing. Well except this year\u2026.. Because of the great weather the fruits were early this year, and when we arrived the season was already over. I wanted to make up for it with the raspberries but that one hadn’t started yet\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, it was still possible to buy strawberry baskets at the farm stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the strawberry pie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a real French classic here! A sweet pastry crust, pastry cream and fresh strawberries. Simple things are often the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have the choice: shortcrust, shortbread, sweet pastry crust\u2026 I chose a sweet crust this time, and I flavoured it with lime zest. You can make it yourself, or buy a ready-to-use one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizational tip<\/em>. You can prepare the dough the day before and keep it in the fridge until use (take it out 15 minutes before to soften it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pastry cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a very classic recipe for vanilla pastry cream. You can flavour it differently or choose another type of cream. I also really like this pie with a mascarpone whipped cream instead of the pastry cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizational tip<\/em>: You can prepare the cream the day before and keep it in the fridge. You’ll just need to give it a whip before using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strawberries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I prepared this tart with only fresh fruits, but you could add a little strawberry confit [or jam]. You can use this recipe with other fruits [e.g. raspberries, exotic fruits, mixed fruits].<\/p>\n\n\n
