How to Make Strawberry Grand Marnier Tarts
- **Make the Pastry:** In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts and mix well.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 1 tablespoon ice water until the dough just comes together. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Do not overwork.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough to fit a 10cm (4 inch) tart pan with a removable bottom. Gently press into the pans, ensuring the pastry covers the base and sides. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork.
- Place the tart shells on baking sheets and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly golden brown. Let cool in the pans.
- **Make the Filling:** In a mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the Grand Marnier cream evenly over the bottom of each cooled tart shell.
- Wash, hull, and thoroughly dry 1 pint (approximately 500g) fresh strawberries. Cut each strawberry in half lengthwise.
- Arrange the strawberry halves over the cream in each tart shell.
- **Make the Strawberry Glaze:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup strawberry jam, 1 tablespoon water, and 1/2 tablespoon Grand Marnier. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat and push through a fine-mesh sieve. Let cool completely.
- Brush the cooled glaze generously over the strawberries in each tart.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
