Crust and Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolks and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pre-bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prick the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat, add the chopped dark chocolate, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tart

    Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Allow to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top the tart with fresh strawberries before serving. Slice and enjoy!
