How To Make This Strawberry Tart

Oreo cookies are ground in a food processor or smashed in a plastic bag into fine crumbs. The crumbs are combined with melted butter. The crumb mixture is transferred to a 9-inch removable bottom tart pan.

The tart crust is chilled for 30 minutes to set and avoid some shrinkage when baked. The chilled tart is baked in preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 10 minutes. The tart crust is cooled completely.

A mix of light brown sugar and cornstarch are sprinkled over the bottom of the tart crust.

Fresh strawberries are rinsed, stemmed, and thinly sliced lengthwise. The thin slices are arranged in a single layer on the bottom of the cooled tart crust. Remaining slices are arranged in a second layer.

The tart is baked in preheated 400 degrees F. oven for 15 minutes.

Diced fresh strawberries are simmered in a saucepan with a splash of fresh lemon juice and some strawberry jam or preserves. The strawberry mixture is stirred and cooked long enough for the strawberries to break down and release their juices. To thicken and sweeten the mixture we add some powdered sugar and a pinch or two of agar agar powder. The sauce is simmered for 2 minutes to fully activate the agar agar and then strained to remove any lumps, seeds, etc.

The syrup is poured over the baked strawberry tart and spread evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a tablespoon to fill the nooks and crannies.

The tart is cooled to room temperature to allow the strawberry syrup to thicken and set.

I served the tart with strawberry sauce and whipped cream.
