What you will like with this recipe

• flavors : delicious fresh strawberries combined with vanilla mascarpone whipped cream.
• texture : both crunchy with its biscuit base, smooth thanks to the mascarpone cream and melting with the ripe strawberries!
• difficulty level : this no-bake strawberry tart is very easy to make, and above all quick! I use a pastry circle set to 20 cm but you can also take a 20cm springform pan if you prefer.

The choice of ingredients

• strawberries : For my desserts, I always choose gariguette strawberries. They always have a beautiful shape and are deliciously sweet.
• dry biscuits : You have several options. You can choose from speculoos biscuits, English dry biscuits like McVities, or Breton galettes. Here, I opted for McVities biscuits.
• Mascarpone/cream : this is the ideal duo when you want whipped cream that holds its shape well. Here the ratio is in favor of mascarpone, which allows the whole thing to hold its shape very well (easy to pipe). This mascarpone whipped cream allows us to make a strawberry tart without pastry cream.

My tips for making a successful no-bake strawberry tart

• press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of the circle : this allows the crumbs to stick well with the melted butter which sets them once in the refrigerator.
• the mascarpone whipped cream is ready when sharp peaks form in your bowl : it does not move and can be put in a piping bag.
• squeeze the strawberry halves together well when decorating : this allows you to have even more fruit in each portion.

How to store your no-bake strawberry pie?

This pie keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days Placed in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap. I still recommend preparing it at the last minute to prevent the strawberries from spoiling.
