Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more indulgent tart, add a few fresh mint leaves over the strawberries before pouring on the melted chocolate. It adds an irresistible touch of freshness! 🍫🍓🌿

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Fresh strawberries turn watery and the texture of the crust deteriorates considerably after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Not well suited. Fresh strawberries soften quickly on the tart and the crust loses its crispness within 24 hours.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The shortcrust and the ganache can be made the day before. Assemble and add the strawberries just before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. Eat cold or at room temperature. Reheating alters the texture of the strawberries and the crust.

Variations

Add a little flaky sea salt on the ganache.
Replace the dark chocolate with milk chocolate.
Decorate with fresh mint leaves.

Mistakes to avoid

Filling a warm crust: let the crust cool completely.
Forgetting to prick the bottom before baking.
Serving without resting: let the tart chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a cocoa shortcrust pastry?

Mix the flour, cocoa, powdered sugar and salt, add the cold butter in small pieces until the texture is sandy, then the egg. Roll out the dough, line the pan, prick the bottom and bake for 15 minutes at 180°C.

How do you make the ganache for the tart?

Melt 150 g of dark chocolate in a double boiler with 50 g of heavy cream, stirring well to get a smooth ganache. Drizzle it over the strawberries arranged on the cooled crust.

How do you arrange the strawberries on the tart?

Wash and hull 500 g of strawberries, cut half of them in two and leave the other half whole. Arrange them on the cooled crust before drizzling with the melted ganache.

How long should the chocolate strawberry tart rest?

Let the tart rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving, so the ganache sets. It's a classic pairing of dark chocolate and fresh strawberries.
