  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and slightly flatten the dough
  • Place the dough between 2 pieces of baking paper and rough dough into a circle large enough to cover the base and sides of your tart tine
  • Remove the top layer of baking paper and then gently flip the rolled pastry into the prepared tin and press the pastry into the corner
  • Cut off any excess pastry from the top, and if necessary use this to patch any holes created in the pastry base

  • To prepare the filling, place the 250g of fresh or frozen strawberries into a food processor with the water and blend until smooth
  • Pour this mixture into a small saucepan, add in the xylitol and the corn flour and whisk until well combined
  • Bring the strawberry mixture to the boil and then simmer over a medium heat for about 5 minutes
  • If you prefer a strawberry red colour gradually add in red colouring one drop at a time until you get your desired colout
