    As a child, I loved going to the local bakery. The mini strawberry tartlet was always a favorite and is a popular choice where I live in Scotland. With a sweet pastry base, Chantilly cream filling topped with fresh strawberries and covered in a sweet strawberry syrup what is not to love.

    I have to admit that since being gluten free I have never seen a gluten free strawberry tart in any bakery I have been to. So that's when I got to work developing this recipe. As I didn't want to miss out on this delicious and beautiful dessert and so you don't have to miss out either. If you love summer desserts you might also like my Chocolate strawberry tartlets and Gluten free banoffee pie.

    Gluten-free tartlet cases

    I would recommend making sweet gluten free pastry cases. My gluten free sweet pastry recipe is perfect for this as that is what I used to make 6 individual gluten-free strawberry tartlet cases. If you are looking for a quicker alternative you can find ready-made gluten-free pastries in shops or online to make the gluten free tart cases.

    How to make Strawberry glaze

    Making a strawberry glaze or syrup can be as easy as you like. All you need is fresh strawberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and arrowroot powder. If it is not the strawberry season you can use canned strawberries in light syrup, sugar, and arrowroot powder. This is what I used in my Mini strawberry tarts recipe. If looking for convenience.

    Strawberry glaze or syrup can be easily found in local supermarkets and shops If you do not wish to make it from scratch.

    How to use Arrowroot powder to thicken a strawberry glaze

    Bring the strawberry, water, and, sugar mixture to a boil. Once your strawberries are soft using a sieve or strainer separate the liquid from the fruit and discard the fruit. Mix 1 tablespoon (1 sachet) of ground arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoon of water and mix until dissolved and smooth with no lumps. Add the mixture to your strawberry liquid, mix, and bring to a boil continually stirring. Then remove from the heat and continue to stir until the mixture thickens. Then transfer to a jug or jar to cool before placing in the fridge.

    How long does strawberry glaze last?

    Once made you can store your strawberry glaze in an air-tight container. Keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. This makes the strawberry glaze perfect if you have any leftover. You can use it for drizzling over ice cream or a cheesecake.

    How to decorate the strawberry tartlets

    Using fresh strawberries always looks so pretty with minimal effort making it a popular choice for tarts and cakes. I enjoy trying out different looks for my strawberry tarts. You can try arranging sliced strawberries to look like a flower, heart, or swirl effect.

    The easiest decoration is by placing a whole strawberry in the middle of the tart. Just like the ones I often had as a child. Simple yet still pretty.
