What do you look forward most to when you have a holiday brunch? It may be the quiche, the ability to eat both breakfast AND lunch on one plate, gathering around with family (obviously). Aside from all the wonderful things to brunch on, I think every good brunch needs to be rounded out with a fun dessert.
Easter brunch is right around the corner and I thought it would be delicious to offer your guests (or bring to the celebration) a sure-to-please strawberry cream tart. Golden flakey crust, fluffy puff clouds of whipped heaven, a juicy burst of strawberry? Don’t mind if I do!
Nothing makes people smile quite like a whipped strawberry tart and I KNOW you’ll love this one! Plus, it’s incredibly easy and holds really amazing if you want to make it ahead and keep in your fridge for a few hours until you’re ready to chow down.
It’s a crowd pleaser and perfect for any spring or summer celebration. Let’s get this party started and make this tasty treat!!
