Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Extra whipped cream for topping

How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Tart

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly.
3. Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
4. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
5. While the crust cools, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, heat ½ cup of heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes.
6. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
7. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
8. Before serving, top the tart with sliced strawberries and dollops of whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
• Chill the tart long enough for the filling to set properly; overnight is best if you have the time.
• Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
• For a decorative touch, garnish with mint leaves alongside the strawberries.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different fruit twist.
• Add a splash of orange liqueur to the chocolate filling for a citrus kick.
• Top with crushed nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added texture and flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
• Coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness.
