Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream, divided
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

How to Make Chocolate Tart with Whipped Cream and Strawberries

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
3. While the crust is cooling, heat ½ cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
5. Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, fold in half of the whipped cream until well combined. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
7. Before serving, top the tart with the remaining whipped cream and arrange the sliced strawberries on top. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the crust is completely cooled before adding the chocolate filling to prevent it from melting.
• Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
• For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of coffee or espresso powder to the chocolate mixture.
• If you prefer a sweeter tart, add more sugar to the whipped cream to taste.

Easy Variations

• Swap out strawberries for other berries such as raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry tart.
• Add a layer of sliced bananas for a chocolate-banana combination.
• Drizzle some caramel sauce over the whipped cream for an indulgent twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel sauce on the plate for presentation.
• Coffee or espresso to complement the chocolate flavor.

Store any leftover tart covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tart is best enjoyed fresh, but it can still be delicious when chilled. Do not freeze the tart, as the texture of the whipped cream may not hold up well after thawing.
