Glazed fresh strawberry tart

Glazed fresh strawberry tart is a traditional dessert highly valued in various Latin American cultures, although its exact origin dates back to European pastry shops, where fresh fruits and juicy glaze began to be combined to create delicate and eye-catching desserts. In countries like Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia, it is common to find their own versions of this tart, which stand out for their freshness and natural flavor. In some places, it is also known as "strawberry pie" or "strawberry cake with gelatin," although the basic concept is very similar: a crunchy base, fresh strawberries, and a shiny glaze that holds the fruit in place, giving it an appetizing and elegant finish.

This tart is perfect for family celebrations, afternoons with friends, or simply to enjoy a light and refreshing dessert during the strawberry season. Its versatility and simplicity in preparation make it one of the favorite recipes in many Latin American kitchens.

How to Prepare Glazed Fresh Strawberry Tart

Mash 1 pint of strawberries using a fork and set aside.

Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a 3-quart saucepan.

Add the water and the mashed strawberries.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil, then cook for 2 more minutes.

Remove from heat and add the food coloring.

Let it cool to room temperature.

Gently fold in the remaining 2 pints of strawberries and pour into the pre-baked tart shell.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

To serve, top with dollops of sweetened whipped cream.
