US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For the Strawberry Topping

  • Gently toss all ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.

To Assemble

  • Spread the filling over the tart shell and arrange sliced strawberries on top.
  • Refrigerate until well chilled before serving.

Notes

*If using pudding or custard mix, make it using cream instead of milk for a thicker filling that will hold up to slicing.
Please Note: If using a shortbread crust, I recommend making and waiting to assemble until just before serving to keep the crust crisp.
