Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg yolk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and pureed

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon gelatin powder

2 tablespoons cold water

Fresh strawberries, halved, for garnish

Mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Tartlet Shells: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Mix in the softened butter until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix until a dough forms.

    Chill the Dough: Press the dough into tartlet pans, ensuring an even layer covers the bottom and sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

      Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

        Bake Tartlet Shells: Remove the tartlet shells from the fridge and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Once baked, let them cool completely.

          Prepare the Mousse: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Heat over low heat until dissolved, then combine with the strawberry puree.

            Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.

              Fill the Tartlets: Spoon or pipe the strawberry mousse into the cooled tartlet shells, smoothing the tops. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

                Garnish and Serve: Once set, garnish each tartlet with halved strawberries and mint leaves for a fresh touch. Serve chilled.
