How to Make Fresh and Delicious Strawberry Tartlets
  1. Prepare the Dough: Cut the Pâte Sucrée dough into 12 portions and gently press each piece into tartlet pans. If any cracks appear, use extra dough to patch them up.
  2. Chill the Shells: Freeze the tartlet shells for 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Prick the Dough: Use a fork to prick the dough all over.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Place the tartlets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and fill them with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Finish Baking: Remove the parchment paper and weights, and continue baking until golden.
  7. Make Strawberry Jam: In a saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  8. Simmer the Jam: Uncover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until thickened.
  9. Prepare the Cream Base: In a large saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and heavy cream. Heat over medium until it begins to simmer.
  10. Whisk the Egg Mixture: Whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until well combined.
  11. Temper the Egg Yolks: Slowly add a small amount of the hot mixture to the egg yolks while whisking.
  12. Combine Back: Gradually add the tempered yolks back, stirring until thickened.
  13. Chill the Cream: Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  14. Whisk Smooth: Whisk the pastry cream to smooth it out.
  15. Assemble the Tartlets: Spread a layer of strawberry jam at the bottom of each tartlet shell.
  16. Pipe the Cream: Pipe the chilled pastry cream over the jam in each tartlet.
  17. Garnish and Serve: Top each tartlet with halved fresh strawberries.
