Happy Easter everyone! We had a nice Easter dinner here that was not too much different from our standard Sunday dinner. I roasted a whole chicken, and we had mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, rolls, and salad as sides. Nothing too complicated. I did want to make a nice dessert though, and wanted to do something nice and springy, without too much work. I went to Costco the other day and got a couple of containers of beautiful strawberries, so decided to use those. What I came up with was a simple tart using a puff pastry base, along with vanilla pudding, and fresh strawberries, with whipped cream topping the whole thing off. The result is delicious!
Vanilla Strawberry Tart
Ingredients:
1 box Jello brand Cook-and-Serve Vanilla pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 puff pastry sheet
2 cups strawberries, tops removed and halved vertically
Whipped cream for garnish
1. Line a 10-inch tart pan with puff pastry sheet. Trim as necessary, and flute edges. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes, until pastry is cooked through. Press down on center to compress pastry as it puffs up when it bakes.
2. In the meantime, cook pudding according to package directions, and cool.
3. When both crust and pudding are cooled, pour pudding into crust about 2/3 up the crust. Reserve remaining pudding for another purpose. Chill at least one hour until pudding is set.
4. Arrange strawberry halves on top of pudding, making a ring around the edge of the tart, then moving inward, covering the tart with strawberries.
5. Garnish with fresh whipped cream.
