Upside-Down Strawberry Tart Recipe
This Upside-Down Strawberry Tart is a delightful dessert that will impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth. The tart features fresh strawberries arranged in a beautiful design on top of a buttery, flaky crust. The tart is baked upside-down, which means that the strawberries end up caramelizing as they cook and creating a gorgeous, ruby-red topping that contrasts perfectly with the golden crust.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of pre-made puff pastry
- 1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a 9-inch tart pan.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the strawberry mixture, tucking in the edges around the sides.
- Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
- Use a sharp knife to make a few small slits in the top of the puff pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully flip the tart over onto a serving platter, so that the strawberries are on top.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Don’t overfill the tart pan with the strawberry mixture, or it may overflow while baking.
- Make sure to brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color.
- Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before flipping it over onto a serving platter to avoid any accidents.
