Strawberry tart

Still riding on my fresh fruit kick, and because I had left over egg yolks from the Italian meringue, I decided to make a strawberry tart for a going away/birthday party.

I made the pastry cream a couple a day ahead, and since I was using puff pastry from Trader Joes, it was easy as pie... or er tart. The puff pastry was scored down the side and folded over to create a nice border. After baking it off and cooling, I topped it off with the pastry cream, fresh strawberries, and a simple glaze made out of diluted strawberry jam.

I imagine any variation of this tart, with perhaps peaches, apricots, or any in season fruit would be a refreshing dessert to beat the summer heat.
