2. Prepare the Strawberries
   Wash and clean the strawberries, then cut them into small pieces of approximately 1 cm in size. Stir the chopped strawberries into the ricotta cream mixture.

3. Chill the Cream
   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it while you proceed with the rest of the preparation.

4. Prepare the Tartlet Bases
   To create the bases of the tartlets, use a rolling pin to flatten the slices of Colomba cake. Using a round cookie cutter, cut two 10 cm diameter discs from each slice. Arrange the four discs on a tray, leaving them in the cookie cutter molds for stability.

5. Make the Crumble
   For the crumble topping, roughly chop the leftover Colomba cake scraps with a knife. Melt a small knob of butter in a pan and add the chopped Colomba to create a crunchy crumble. Set it aside for later.

6. Assemble the Tartlets
   Transfer the ricotta-strawberry cream mixture into a piping bag. Take the tartlet bases and insert a smaller round cutter (about 3 cm in diameter) into the center of each disc. Fill the outer ring of the tartlet with the ricotta cream until it reaches about 3 cm in height. Use the back of a teaspoon to level the cream.

7. Add the Crumble
   Sprinkle the crumble over the cream filling, then carefully remove the smaller cutter. Place the tartlets in the freezer to set for one hour, or in the fridge for about 2 hours.

8. Finish the Tartlets
   Once the tartlets have firmed up, gently remove the larger cookie cutter. Fill the center of each tartlet with 15g of Nutella®. Finally, decorate with a thin slice of strawberry on top of each tartlet.
