French Food Friday - Tartes aux Fraises

For our Easter dessert, I decided that we needed something light and since I have not made these tarts in a very long time, this recipe would be perfect. It is also stawberry season, fortunately for us,  we are lucky enough to live in the region that produces the most and best strawberries in France.  The secret is the pastry, this recipe is by  Pierre Herme and it is divine.  To save time, prepare your tart shells in advance. It is best to prepare the pastry cream the same day it is used. If you don't have or don't like strawberries, feel free to use other fruits: raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, mangoes, etc.  I made one with raspberries and it was divine.
