SAEDNEWS: In this guide, we'll show you how to prepare a chocolate and strawberry tart, a delicious and unique dessert. Perfect for hosting guests or serving as a snack, this tart combines a buttery crust with a rich chocolate filling and fresh strawberries.
The tart originates from France and has been a popular dessert since the 15th century. While traditionally made with eggs, this recipe skips them for the crust, making it quick and easy to prepare. Follow along for a step-by-step guide to creating this delectable treat.
Oreo biscuits: 330 grams
Melted butter: 110 grams
Milk chocolate: 200 grams
Dark chocolate: 100 grams
Heavy cream: 200 grams
Fresh strawberries: 300 grams
Sliced and toasted almonds: A small amount for garnish
Place the Oreo biscuits in a food processor and grind them into fine crumbs.
Add the melted butter to the crumbs and blend until fully combined.
Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of a tart pan. For best results, use a tart pan with a removable bottom to make unmolding easier.
Ensure the thickness of the crust is uniform across the base and sides.
Place the crust in the freezer or refrigerator to firm up while preparing the filling.
Option 1: Using Cream First
Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until small bubbles appear around the edges (do not let it boil).
Remove the cream from the heat and add both milk and dark chocolates.
Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the mixture becomes a smooth, glossy chocolate sauce.
Option 2: Using Double Boiler (Bain-Marie)
Melt the milk and dark chocolates in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until fully melted.
Add the heavy cream to the melted chocolate and mix until smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the fresh strawberries on top in any desired pattern.
Sprinkle the tart with sliced and toasted almonds for an added crunch and decorative touch.
Place the tart in the refrigerator and allow it to set overnight or for at least 2 hours.
Once set, remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve chilled.
Feel free to customize the toppings with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or kiwi.
For an extra decorative touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the tart before serving.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
We hope this chocolate and strawberry tart recipe inspires you to create a stunning dessert for your family or guests. Enjoy the delicious combination of creamy chocolate, buttery crust, and fresh strawberries!
