Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Prepare the lemon curd by whisking the egg yolks, whole eggs, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest over a bain marie (a large bowl placed over a pan of simmering hot water).
• Once combined, mix in the butter and whisk the mixture for about 10 minutes, until thick.
• Pour into a pre-baked tart shell.
• Bake for 6 minutes.
• Whilst the tart is baking, prepare the raspberry chantilly by whipping the raspberries, sugar, vanilla extract and cream together.
• Leave the tart to cool before dusting with icing sugar.
• Serve with the raspberry chantilly, fresh raspberries and mint for garnish.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth, but not fluffy. Mix in the egg until combined, then add the flour. Bring together with your hands to form a dough. Wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
• Dust a surface with flour and roll out the pastry to a 26cm circle (or 3cm bigger than your tin). Line a 23cm fluted tart tin with the pastry, leaving an overhang. Prick the base with a fork to stop any air bubbles forming. Chill for 30 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the pastry case with a scrunched up sheet of baking parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans and bake for 15-20 mins more until crisp and golden. Leave in the tin to cool.
• To make the crème pâtissière, heat the milk, cream and vanilla in a pan over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring up to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk the yolks and sugar in a bowl for 3 mins until pale, then stir in the cornflour until combined. Pour a quarter of the hot cream over the egg mix, whisking continuously, then pour the warm egg mix into the pan with the rest of the cream. Stir over a low-medium heat for 5-8 mins until the crème pâtissière thickens. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 15 mins, whisking occasionally. Gradually whisk in the butter until smooth, cover and put in the fridge until needed.
• Beat the strawberry jam to loosen it, then spread over the bottom of the pastry case. Put the crème pâtissière into a piping bag and pipe in a spiral on top of the jam. Arrange the strawberries on top in a pattern. Heat the apricot jam in a small pan with 1 tbsp water until warm. Whisk to loosen the jam, then leave to cool slightly. Brush over the top of the strawberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350˚F (180˚C).
• Slice each biscuit into 8 pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
• In a saucepan on medium heat, combine strawberry filling ingredients and cook until it reaches a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook until filling reaches a smooth consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine egg mixture ingredients in a large bowl until well-incorporated.
• Place biscuits in a greased baking dish and spread the egg mixture evenly on top.
• Top with strawberry filling and the fresh quartered strawberries.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Slice and serve with whipped cream.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Add the cookies to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Mix in the melted butter, stirring to combine.
• Transfer the biscuit mixture to a 9 inch (23 centimeters) cake tin lined with parchment paper and press to form an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Add the double cream and chocolate to a pot over medium heat, gently stirring until the chocolate is melted.
• Pour the chocolate over the biscuit base and top with the strawberries.
• Refrigerate for 3 hours, until set. Drizzle with melted dark and white chocolate and coat with icing sugar.
• Enjoy!
