Ingredients for the Strawberry Mirror Glaze Tart:

Glaze:

• 2 pints fresh strawberries;
• 2 boxes (3 oz each) strawberry gelatin (Jell-O);
• 1 ¼ cups boiling water;
• 1 ¼ cups cold water.

Cream Filling:

• 1 carton (7-8 oz) heavy cream (or table cream);
• 2 egg yolks;
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch;
• 1 ¼ cups whole milk;
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk.

Crust:

• 10 oz (approx. 300g) digestive biscuits or graham crackers;
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter;
• 6 tablespoons milk.

How to Prepare the Strawberry Mirror Glaze Tart:

1. First, crush the cookies in a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until they reach a fine crumb texture;
2. In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and milk until you have a dough-like consistency;
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan;
4. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up;
5. While the crust chills, prepare the cream filling;
6. In a saucepan, combine the cream, egg yolks, cornstarch, milk, and sweetened condensed milk;
7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth;
8. Remove from heat and let it cool;
9. Pour the cream over the chilled crust and spread evenly;
10. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to set;
11. While the tart sets, prepare the glaze;
12. Wash and slice the strawberries;
13. Arrange the strawberry slices over the cream, covering the entire surface;
14. Dissolve the strawberry gelatin in the boiling water, then stir in the cold water;
15. Stir well until completely combined;
16. Carefully pour the gelatin over the strawberries;
17. Ensure the gelatin has cooled to room temperature before pouring to prevent melting the cream;
18. Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is completely firm;
19. Remove from the fridge, unmold carefully, and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Pro Tip:

To achieve that perfect “mirror” effect, ensure the gelatin mixture is fully cooled before pouring. This prevents it from melting the cream layer and maintains the beautiful, glossy finish that makes this tart so glamorous.
