Depending on where you live, strawberry season may or may not have arrived. Regardless of the weather, it is necessary to have a solid strawberry tart recipe on hand when those red juicy berries appear in the market. A classic strawberry tart has three components: a buttery crust (preferably homemade), pastry cream, and of course, fresh strawberries. This is the kind of dessert you will want to bake when strawberries are at their peak so hold out (if you can) for the sweetest, biggest, best berries you can get your hands on.
