I’m officially living in the suburbs. Not quite Wysteria lane, but it’s cheap. My new flatmate invited the landlord and sister for dinner and I was asked to make dessert. Unfortunately my new place has no oven and I had no time this week. So with an hour to spare between coming home from work and dinner. I had to whip up something which wouldn’t dissapoint the French tastebuds. And here it is: a strawberry cinammon tart, fast food style. I found some very yummy, super crunchy cinnamon biscuits in the supermarket, if you don’t have them, add some powdered cinnamon. Don’t make this the night before the strawberries and mascapone will make this base go a bit soggy.

Strawberry cinnammon tart – Fast food style

70g butter, melted
150g biscuits, crushed
2 tsp cinnammon, optional
250g mascapone
2 x packets of vanilla sugar
500g strawberries or any other ‘berry’ type fruit you fancy, washed
1 x 20cm tart tin

Mix melted butter into crushed biscuits. Pour into tin and press firmly down with a cup/glass to make base. Whisk mascapone with sugar. Spread evenly on base. Slice straberries in half. Put on tart. Chill for at least 1hour. Take out of fridge 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sugar if the strawberries aren’t sweet enough.
