Steps
Let’s start by preparing the custard. Click on it to find the recipe. Once ready, let it cool covered with cling film, in the fridge
Continue with the preparation of the shortcrust pastry. Once placed in the pan, bake the shell for about 15 minutes in a static oven at 340°F. Let it cool in the pan
In a bowl, mix the softened butter with the sugar until you get a smooth cream. Gradually add, mixing with a spatula, the almond flour. Finally, add the egg slowly, which we previously whisked with a fork. Mix well, combining the ingredients, and set aside
Fill the pastry shell with the frangipane cream and some diced strawberries. Bake at 320°F for about 15 minutes or until the cream is golden. Let cool well. Meanwhile, take the custard from the fridge and work it with a whisk to make it creamy and glossy.
Cover the surface of the cake with custard, up to the edge, smooth with a spatula and put it in the fridge for about half an hour. Finish with a thin layer of strawberry jam and decorate with strawberries sliced about 3/16 inch thick. Brush the strawberries with the jam, which you would have melted in a saucepan, on low heat, to spread it better. Sprinkle a bit of sugar on top and serve
