Serving suggestion
Whether at a grocery store or roadside stand, choose the best-looking strawberries. They should be firm, plump, and with potent colours. With the best berries, your strawberry tartlets get the best taste possible.
When it comes to presentation, cut the berries evenly so that every strawberry tartlet can be decorated the same beautiful way. It also ensures even bites so you get the perfect amount of flavours and textures in every bite.

Nothing says summer like fresh berries and sweet desserts. Our delicious strawberry tartlets have it all, and they are as easy to make as they are easily enjoyed. They are simple to make, so bring along the whole family to bake with you, enjoying the family time before you dig into the sweet treats together. Make these perfect summery treats for sunny afternoons or warm evenings when you and your closest are craving a fruity and indulgent dessert with fresh bursts of sweet vanilla and strawberry flavours.
Making the perfect strawberry tartlets only boils down to three things. Carefully chosen fresh and juicy strawberries are like the sun on a lovely warm day: essential. But a moist marzipan tart base is just as important. Because we love the sweet with the fresh, this marzipan tart base is made to feel more akin to a cake base with its delightful sugary taste and moist texture. Adding velvety vanilla whipped cream as the strawberry tartlet filling gives it an extra layer of summer sweetness while injecting a bit of tangy flavour to balance it out as well.
You are the artist, and these strawberry tartlets are your masterpiece – ready to be decorated with taste, texture, and beautiful colours after assembling the base, whipped cream, and berries. Choose a light or dark chocolate to add deep dark hues with a deep rich taste or consider the great green colours of crunchy pistachio nuts.
We also want bright bursts of summery colours! All the colours of the rainbow are at your service if you garnish your strawberry tartlets with colourful sprinkles or vibrant edible flowers! Adding freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries also goes visually well with the sunny theme, and they add a small but concentrated berry boost, making the desserts that much more delicious.
Easy to make and easy to transport, strawberry tartlets are the ideal summer dessert. They are small but big in taste, and they can be served as dessert for summer parties or as delightful, sweet treats for afternoons in the bright sun. Pack your picnic basket with a batch of sweet and indulgent strawberry tartlets, and your day in the sun just got better, tastier, and more beautiful.
We find that strawberries are pretty much synonymous with summer. So, why not see to it that you spice up your picnic by adding a fresh strawberry salad to your already scrumptious menu? You can also go for other summer favourites like our mouth-watering watermelon salad and tasty grilled corn on the cob for the savoury part of the menu and fried bananas or grilled nectarines for more treats on the dessert table.
We were not kidding about letting your artistic aspirations run wild! Strawberry tartlets should be your creative outlet, and that is why we have gathered a few great ways to help make the recipe your own.
A simple way to add a touch of personality is to combine the strawberry tartlets with other berries. With the addition of fresh raspberries or blueberries, you get a true flavour boost with a slight tartness that helps give the tartlets a refreshing and summery kick.
Served for adults only, you can also give them a different kind of kick. Letting the berries soak in alcohol for a few hours or even overnight, they absorb all the wonderful flavours and aromas of the alcohol. Use, for example, brandy, rum, champagne or sparkling wine, or a sweet liqueur depending on the notes and aromas you want to add.
