3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Arrange strawberries over filling; brush strawberries with jelly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Remove side of pan before serving.

This creamy strawberry tart boasts a crunchy chocolate layer tucked next to the crust. Try making individual tartlets instead of one big dessert. —Dawn Tringali, Hamilton Square, New Jersey
