Nom!
Strawberry Lemon Cream Pies Makes 12:
250g plain flour
2 tsp sugar
100g cold butter, diced
Some cold water
OR
375g sweet shortcrust pastry
150g cream cheese
25g icing sugar, sifted
1.5 tbsp lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
75g double cream, whipped
75g strawberries, thinly sliced
If using premade pastry, go straight to step 3
1) Mix the flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Rub in the butter to a breadcrumb mixture.
2) Gradually add a tablespoon of water to knead the mixture into a dough. Cut in half, then wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
3) Roll out one of the pastry halves into a large thin circle. Use a 3.5" round cutter to stamp out 6 circles. Lightly press them into a non-stick cupcake tray and prick the base with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pastry half. Freeze until hard (about half an hour).
4) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, then bake the pastry for 15 minutes until just brown. Allow to cool completely.
5) Retain 12 strawberry slices. Use the rest to line the base of each pastry cup.
6) Mix the cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice and half of the lemon zest. Fold in the cream.
7) Spoon the mixture into the pastry cups, then top each with a strawberry slice and the remaining lemon zest.
8) Leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
