Glad I found this recipe now…just a few more days strawberries goes out of season and prices go crazy.

By the way, just a tip for Zeynep, I use vegetable peelers to make chocolate curls. I just run blades across the side of a chocolate bar and viola…curls! Hope this helps.

It almost looks too pretty to eat! But, I’d have to have some since it sounds delicious!

Hi there Robin -
Blind baking means cooking the pastry shell without any filling. Baking the pastry shell before adding the contents yields a crisp, non-soggy tart case. You first line your tart/pie dish with the pastry, rest in the fridge for at least an hour, lay a sheet of baking parchment or greaseproof paper in the pastry case so it comes up the sides a bit and fill it with some kind of weight (it can be dried beans, rice (uncooked of course) or ceramic baking beans made especially for this purpose).

The idea is to weigh the paper and pastry down to prevent it from rising up during baking.

You usually bake your tart/pie blind for the specified time, then remove the weight and continue baking for a shorter period of time to give it some color.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the post, I’ve been looking for a good strawberry tart recipe. This may be dumb, but could you tell me what “bake blind” means? Thanks! Robin
