Strawberries and Cream Tart

My husband is not much of a dessert person but when he asked me to make this for him, I was all over it! It was quite a process. So if you decide to make this, you'll need to some time to do it. Click this link to enjoy this recipe!!


Thoughts: First of all, I searched high and low for a vanilla bean but had no luck at any of the groceries stores in my area. I have yet to check Wegman's where you can find just about anything! But, you can substitute 1-2 tsp of vanilla extract if you don't have a vanilla bean on hand.  Also, when using light cream, turns out half-and-half is not thick enough and heavy whipping cream is too thick. So this picture is my second attempt as it did not thicken enough for me the first time. I used whipping cream the second time and still had to throw it in the freezer to thicken it up. It turned out nice and tasty!
