Faux Strawberry Tart with a Biscuit Base
July 11th 2006 09:51
Ingredients:
½ Cup Desiccated Coconut
½ Packet of Nice Biscuits
50 Grams Butter
1 Punnet of Strawberries
1 Tablespoon of Castor Sugar
1 Tablespoon of Icing Sugar
Icecream
Method:
Melt the butter in a small pan. Crush the biscuits until they of a much finer consistency, with pieces about the size of small pebbles. Take the butter of the heat and mix in the coconut and biscuit. Shape into flat, round bases the size of a large cookie and bake on a well greased tray in the oven until brown and hard. This should take approximately 10 minutes when the oven is set to 180 degrees Celsius.
Next remove the bases from the oven and allow them to cool, which is necessary if they are to harden. Meanwhile wash the strawberries, remove the stem and slice them. Place in a small bowl with the sugar and allow the juices to extract a little. Place the juice, sugar and strawberries in a small pan on a low heat and simmer for a short time until they soften but still maintain their shape.
Spoon even lumps of the strawberry mixture onto the cooled biscuit bases. Dust the icing sugar onto the strawberries. Serve with ice cream and eat them before it melts!
