I first created this recipe a few months ago they were delicious and so perfect for an afternoon tea or garden picnic. I made them again last week and yes..just as good! For those of you that missed it last month here’s the recipe, updated ever so slightly:

Pimms Summer Tart

You will need:

8 cooled shortcrust pastry tart shells ( shop bought or home made is fine)
8 Strawberries
Pimms – 3 capfuls
1 heaped tbsp Icing sugar
300ml Double or whipping cream
3 tbsp Caster sugar
Orange zest
Blueberries/strawberries and Greek basil to garnish

Whizz your strawberries, 1 capful of Pimms and icing sugar up in a blender or Vitamix and set aside. Whip your double cream, remaining Pimms, caster sugar and orange zest until soft peaks form.

Layer each tart with some strawberry/Pimms mixture followed by a dollop of cream, some berries and basil leaves. Chill or devour immediately.
