You can make the tarts very easily by following the instructions in this recipe.
Heat the milk, cream, half the sugar and vanilla essence in a saucepan.
Put the other half of the sugar, the egg yolks and the cornstarch in a bowl and mix well.
Pour the contents of the saucepan into the bowl. Stir well, then pour it back into the saucepan and place it over heat. Stir until thickened.
Remove from the heat, put it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it cool.
Whip the cream in a cold bowl using a whisk or an electric mixer. Add the tablespoon of icing sugar when it is almost whipped.
Once whipped, pour it in three batches into the bowl of pastry cream and stir gently each time until it is completely mixed.
Wash the strawberries carefully. Cut off the stem and slice them in half.
Put the madame cream in a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle. Pipe small mounds of cream, the same height as the strawberries, onto each tartlet.
Arrange the strawberries as you see in the photo.
I like to give strawberries a little shine by brushing them with a bit of jam. For a better result, I mix the jam with 1 tablespoon of water and heat the mixture for a few seconds in the microwave. Then, I strain it, and I have a very fine shine: it looks great!
If you prefer, instead of brushing them you can sprinkle them with a little icing sugar using a sieve.
