Parisian Recipes: French rhubarb and strawberry tart

For the tart pastry, place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to blend dry ingredients. Add in the chunks of butter and pulse to make a grainy mixture. Add in the cream, a few tablespoons at a time and pulse until you have a mixture that holds together, adding in additional cream if required.

Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently to form a dough. Pat into a disc, wrap and refrigerate 1-4 hours.

Meanwhile prepare the fruit. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the tart dough on a floured work surface. Fold it in flour and transfer to a 9 or 10-inch tart or quiche pan, pressing the dough snugly onto the pan and into the fluted edges. Trim pastry so it is flush with the pan edges. Place on the baking sheet.

Toss rhubarb, strawberries and orange zest together in a bowl and then gently arrange in the tart shell as snugly as possible. Fruit should fill up pan; if you need more fruit, add either rhubarb or more berries.

In a medium bowl or food processor, blend the together the cream cheese, sugar, whipping cream, eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour over the fruit. Place it carefully in the oven. Bake until set, 60-75 minutes or until custard seems set and rhubarb and strawberries seems softened.

Cool 10-15 minutes before brushing with warmed apricot jam or red currant jelly.
