Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups California walnut pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup strawberries, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped
  • 6 large strawberries

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a food processor, pulse together walnuts, butter, maple syrup and brown sugar until crumbly. Divide mixture among six 3-inch nonstick tart shell molds pressing into bases evenly.
  3. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. Let cool and remove from molds.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine strawberries with liqueur and spoon 1/4 cup into the based of each tart.
  5. Pipe or spoon 1/4 cup of whipped cream onto one tart. With a knife, slice a side off a large strawberry and press a 1-inch diameter maple leaf cookie cutter into the strawberry to form a maple leaf. Place the maple leaf shaped strawberry on tartlet.
  6. Repeat with remaining three tarts.
  7. Serve immediately.
