No-bake strawberry tart (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
When the days get hot, there's nothing better than a fresh, fruity dessert. This no-bake strawberry tart is light, fragrant and above all very practical: no need to turn on the oven! I first discovered it in another version that I thought was too sweet. So I adapted it - and since then it's become a real classic in our house. You can easily vary the fruit: raspberries, blueberries, mangoes... it all works perfectly. Perfect for summer, it can be made the day before and kept in the fridge.
