Preheat your oven to 180 degrees F 82.2 degrees C. Line a baking tray with paper
Lay pastry out on a choppping board. Remove backing sheet and cut into 9 pieces with a pizza roller
Roll edges of each square of pastry inwards to create a crust around all 4 sides
Prick pastry squares with a fork about 5 times each
Use a pastry brush to coat the pastry squares with the strawberry syrup (not too thickly)
Place in oven for 20 minutes, sliding the baking paper onto the oven track after 10 minutes to allow base to cook thoroughly
Add cream, icing sugar and vanilla essence to a mixing bowl. Use electric beaters to beat till soft peaks are formed
Melt chocolate in microwave safe container initially for 1 minute then for 30 second bursts till melted
Serve with sliced strawberries, cream, toasted pistachios and melted chocolate

The chocolate will set again quickly so it is best to melt that immediately before serving.
The recipe can be vegan (using vegan puff pastry, coconut cream and vegan chocolate)
Don't worry if your tartlets are slightly different sizes, this is not a 'perfect' dessert. Roll with it, I say!
This is a super quick and easy dessert. Use the time when your pastry is in the oven to whip the cream, slice the strawberries and toast the pistachios!
Let the pastry cool just a little before adding the cream to the tarts so that it doesn't melt!
