If there is a dessert that more than others is able to make everyone agree, this is the tart. Easy to customize not only according to tastes but also to dietary needs, it is simple to prepare and very tasty. Today we want to turn it into a Valentine's tart by decorating the surface with lots of shortcrust pastry hearts .

The base is therefore that of the traditional shortcrust pastry that you can prepare with our tried and tested recipe or with the one you prefer to which is added a layer of strawberry jam (raspberry jam is also fine, the important thing is the color). The final decoration is the touch that will make your creation romantic.
