Hey there, uRBAN wHIP fam!

Ready to whip up something that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate? Our Strawberry and Chocolate Tart is here to steal the show! It's a perfect blend of rich chocolate and fresh strawberries, all nestled in a crunchy cookie base. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a newbie in the kitchen, this recipe is for you. Let's get tarted! 😉

What You’ll Need:

For the Tart Base:

• 300 grams chocolate cookies (your ticket to a crunchy base)
• 100 grams butter, melted (because butter makes everything better)

For the Filling:

• 250 millilitres double cream (the creamy dream)
• 300 grams dark chocolate (the star of the show)
• 200 grams strawberries (for a fresh twist)

For the Garnish:

• Melted dark and white chocolate (double the chocolate, double the fun)
• Icing sugar (for a sweet snow-like finish)

Let’s Make Magic:

1. Crumbly Foundation: Start by turning those chocolate cookies into fine crumbs. You can go high-tech with a food processor or get hands-on with a rolling pin and a ziplock bag – it’s therapeutic, trust me! Mix in that melted butter to get the perfect base.

2. Chill Out: Press this mixture into a lined 9-inch cake tin and pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes. This step is key to getting that firm, crisp base.

3. Chocolate River: Meanwhile, heat the double cream just until it’s warm – no boiling here, folks! Then stir in the dark chocolate until it melts into a velvety mixture.

4. Berry Bliss: Pour this chocolatey goodness over your cookie base and artistically top it with strawberries. Feel free to get creative here – it’s your tart, after all!

5. Patience, Please: Refrigerate for 3 hours. I know, waiting is the hardest part, but it’s worth it!

6. Garnish Galore: Drizzle with melted white and dark chocolate, then dust with icing sugar for that Instagram-worthy finish.

7. Tart Time: Slice, serve, and bask in the glory of your culinary creation!

Why This Tart Rocks:

• It’s a Crowd-Pleaser: Chocolate and strawberries are a match made in heaven, and this tart proves it.
• Flexibility is Key: You can switch up the berries or even add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate for a gourmet twist.
• It Looks Fancy, But It’s Easy: Impress your guests or treat yourself with a dessert that looks gourmet but is surprisingly simple to make.

Parting Words:

There you have it – a dessert that's as fun to make as it is to eat. Whether you're hosting a party, attending a potluck, or just craving something sweet, this Strawberry and Chocolate Tart is your go-to recipe.
