  • Prick one pastry piece, brush with egg, and par-bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Cool pastry slightly and increase oven temperature to 220°C.
  • Spread cooled custard over par-baked pastry, leaving a 2cm rim.
  • Arrange strawberries pointed side down over the custard layer.
  • Cut 15 horizontal incisions across the second pastry piece, leaving the rim intact.
  • Lay the vented pastry over the strawberries and press edges to seal.
  • Brush with egg, sprinkle with sugar, bake for 8 minutes at 220°C, then 10-15 minutes at 200°C.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Mix 400g strawberries with orange zest in a bowl.
  • Whisk whipping cream, sugar, and orange juice to soft peaks.

  • Fold the orange cream into the soaked strawberries.
  • Serve the jalousie warm alongside the Romanoff strawberries.
