A few days ago, here in Catalonia, we celebrated Sant Jordi. This weekend I had a lunch gathering and saw the perfect opportunity to make this tart in the shape of a rose—or at least that was the intention. 😂 The flavor turned out delicious, and it disappeared quickly. Here’s the step-by-step guide.

Steps

1 hour

1

Place the pie crust between two sheets of parchment paper. Flatten it a bit with your hand, then use a rolling pin to roll it out.
2

Once ready, grease the tart pan with butter, flip the crust into the pan, and press it in with your hands to fit the shape. Use a fork to poke holes in the crust to let air escape.
3

Preheat the air fryer for about 3 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Place the tart crust in and bake for about 10 minutes. I like to check occasionally—if it puffs up, poke it a bit, and keep an eye on the browning.
4

Once done, let it cool.
5

Next, add the pastry cream. If it was in the fridge, stir it to make it smoother, like in the first photo.
6

Now wash the strawberries well. I first rinse them with cold water, then with water at 140°F (60°C), and finally with cold water again. Pat them dry gently.
7

Cut off the tip and the green part. Slice the strawberries thinly, and use a knife to arrange them on the tart.
8

Place the slices in circles from the outside in. For the inner layers, to use the tips and create a smaller 'petal' effect, slice the tips and place them in the center of the tart.
9

Soften the gelatin. Heat the water and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then add the gelatin and mix until combined. Use a pastry brush to glaze the strawberries for a shiny finish.

And that's it! You can chill it in the fridge for a refreshing touch or serve it right away. 🍓🌹
