To Make the Shortcrust Pastry:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar and salt.
- Cut in the cubed butter until it forms large pea sized pieces.
- Stir in the egg yolks and mix to combine. The crust will be crumbly still, but you should be able to press it together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, press to form a disc, and chill for 30 minutes.
- When chilled, roll the dough out into a circle that is 11" wide.
- Press the dough into a tart pan or a pie plate.
- Place a piece of parchment paper over the dough and place pie weights on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove pie weights and pierce the dough with a fork on the bottom.
- Bake an additional 15 minutes.
- Cool completely.
To Make Strawberry Mousse Filling:
- When the roasted strawberries are cooled slightly, place them in a large bowl.
- Puree the strawberries with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin over the strawberries and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
- Whip the heavy whipping cream to peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pureed strawberries.
- When the tart crust is cool, place the strawberry mousse into the tart crust and smooth to create an even layer.
- Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Enjoy!
