I never could resist strawberry tartlets - but would never have thought of trying to make them myself (and they can be incredibly expensive to buy - especially in London!)

However, having seen this recipe I couldn't resist sharing it with you all!

Bernideen's Strawberry Tartlets

This recipe will make more than 24 tarlets.

You will need 3 cups of fresh strawberry puree, 1/3 cup confectioners sugar -more if strawberries are tart!

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup of heavy cream and 24 tartlet shells - the mini ones

Puree the strawberries in a food processor. Sprinkle the gelatin on top, and pour the puree into a saucepan. Stir gently over very low heat until the gelatin dissolves. Let the puree cool to lukewarm. Combine the cream with 1/3 cup confectioners sugar and whip until the cream is very thick. Fold in the lukewarm strawberry puree. Pipe the mixture into the tartlet shell. Put the tartlets in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set. Keep in refrigeration until serving.

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I think I will actually attempt it myself (I adore good patisserie!) Don't forget to visit Bernideen's Tea Time Blog for more treats!
