Straberry and pastry cream dessert recipe
Prepare the pastry cream and strawberries. Prepare the pastry cream
following our instructions.
Clean strawberries, wash under running water quickly, pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper and plunge them in white wine for few minutes. Then slice them and put apart.
Prepare your dessert. You can use plum cakes or lady fingers (in Italian savoiardi biscuits). Halve the biscuits lengthways or slice plum cakes crossways.
Arrange slices on the bottom of the deep dish in which you want to prepare the cake. Water down 2 tablespoons Marsala (Sicilian
fortified wine) and soak the plum cake or lady fingers with it. Cover with pastry cream and prepare another layer with the plum cakes or
biscuits. Soak this layer too and cover with the pastry cream. At this point sweeten the strawberries with icing sugar and arrange them on
the surface of your dessert according to your fancy.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
This is a do-ahead cake.
Note
- - If you have no time you can choose ready-to-use pastry cream but your dessert will taste less.
- - You can use handmade savoiardi following our step-by-step instructions
- - It isn't possible to calculate nutrition facts as the amount of biscuits can vary a lot. But you have to know 100 g pastry cream contain about 200 kCal :-)
