- 2 cups luxury custard
- 20-25 medium strawberries, stemmed and sliced in half
- fresh mint, optional, for garnish

Step 3 –Spoon the custard into the tart case in a smooth even layer, about 1/2-inch from the top of the pastry.
Step 4 –Place a strawberry half in the center of the tart and, working outward, arrange the strawberries in concentric circles, with the pointed part of the strawberry pointing to the center.
Step 5 –Brush the warm jelly generously all over the top of the tart.
Step 6 –Let the tart set for 5 minutes.
Step 7 –Decorate the tart with the mint leaves and serve.
