Simple Strawberry Dulce de Leche Shortbread TartChris Gentile
When we say simple, we mean it. And simplicity is exactly what you want when the local strawberry season arrives, and you'd rather be outside than indoors at the stove—even though you want to celebrate berry season with an easy, spectacular dessert. Ta da! We've solved the problem.
Borrowing and expanding on South American alfajores, those addictive buttery sandwich cookies filled with dulce de leche, we've made one big, flat cookie base (no hassling with tart pans), spread it with dulce de leche, and then topped it with a soft pillow of whipped cream for freshly sliced strawberries. It doesn't get better than this!
Cooks' Notes:
•Crust can be made, but not topped, 3 days ahead and cooled completely, then kept wrapped in plastic at room temperature.
