Elegant Champagne-Glazed Strawberry Tart

This tart features a flaky, buttery crust filled with smooth vanilla cream and topped with fresh strawberries that shine with a sweet champagne reduction glaze. It offers a deliciously balanced taste – creamy, fruity, and slightly tangy from the glaze, making it a delightful finish to any celebratory meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made buttery tart shell
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup champagne
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold this into the vanilla mixture until combined.
  2. Assemble the Tart: Spoon the vanilla cream into the cooled tart shell, smoothing it into an even layer. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top in a spiral pattern.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine champagne and granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle boil and reduce heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened.
  4. Finish the Tart: Drizzle the champagne glaze over the arranged strawberries, allowing it to cascade beautifully. Chill the tart for about 30 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve: Slice the tart, serve on elegant plates, and enjoy the sparkling flavors of this delightful dessert.
