Indulge in a stunning strawberry chocolate tart topped with fresh berries and shaved chocolate.
Ingredients:
  • 150g plain flour
  • 30g almond meal
  • 55g icing sugar
  • 25g cocoa powder
  • 125g chilled butter, chopped
  • 1 Free Range Egg yolk
  • 20.00 gm chilled water
  • 250g strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
  • 150g milk chocolate, chopped
  • 100g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 185ml thickened cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, combine flour, almond meal, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and water and continue processing until dough just comes together. Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 mins to rest.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to create a 3mm-thick disc. Gently line a 22cm round tart tin with a removable base with the pastry, trimming any excess with a small sharp knife. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow it to rest.
  • Preheat oven to 200C. Line pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove paper and weights or rice and bake for an additional 10 minutes until dry to the touch. Let it cool before using.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, mix together strawberries and caster sugar. Cook and turn for 3-5 minutes, until the strawberries are tender and the juices slightly thicken.
  • To create the luxurious chocolate ganache filling, simply combine chocolate, cream, and vanilla in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir constantly with a metal spoon for 5-6 minutes until the chocolate is completely melted, and the mixture turns silky smooth. Next, evenly arrange fresh strawberries over the pastry base, then generously pour the decadent chocolate ganache over the top. Chill in the fridge for 3 hours until the ganache sets perfectly.
