To make a good dessert does not necessarily mean spending hours in the kitchen, you just need to use the right ingredients and the right cooking techniques.

For example, fruit-based pies often do not require baking in the oven and this is already a way to save time. If you already have a roll of puff pastry in the fridge then you can proceed with the preparation of this delicious strawberry tart, quick and easy to do.

Here are the ingredients you will need: 

500 ml of milk, 4 egg yolks, 125 g of sugar, 40 g of cornstarch, vanilla pod (optional), 500 g of fresh strawberries, 100 g of strawberry jam.
