In every healthy lifestyle, there should be room for little treats from time to time. As a hardcore chocolate lover, my treats will often include loads of chocolate (yummy!).
When I have a treat, I also like to make it something special – so instead of having some sad junk food that doesn’t even taste that well, my choice could be this strawberry tart with chocolate.
I had originally called this a strawberry pie, because there?s only one word for pie and tart in danish – it?s all just tærte. But with help from some lovely internet people, we?ve decided that this is a tart. (Let me just add that I don?t normally bake it in a springform pan like shown on the picture).
Ingredients
| For the shortcrust pastry | |
|---|---|
| 125 g | flour (wheat) |
| 75 g | sugar |
| 30 g | sugar |
| 1 tsp | vanilla sugar |
| 1 | egg yolk |
| For the base of marzipan | |
| 100 g | flour (wheat) |
| 2 | eggs |
| 0.5 dl | cream |
| 100 g | marzipan |
| For the topping | |
| 100 g | dark chocolate |
| 250 g | strawberries |
| Whipped cream, creme fraiche or similar as optional topping | |
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients for the short crust pastry
- Knead the dough into a ball. Add a bit of water to it if necessary to make it stick together. Let the dough sit in the fridge for ~30 minutes
- Prepare a pie/tart dish (or a springform pan like I did this time) and spread out the dough
- Prebake for 10 minutes at 225ºC // 430ºF
- Grate the marzipan
- Beat eggs and sugar until a ribbon is formed, mix with cream and marzipan
- Add the mixture to the prebaked tart crust (make sure you spread out the marzipan)
- Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes at 175ºC // 350ºF
- Spread the melted dark chocolate on top of the tart once it has cooled off, top with halved strawberries
Enjoy! ♡
P.S. If you have any strawberries left after decorating the tart, use them to get the last melted chocolate from the bowl for extra happiness points 😉
Since you made it all the way to the end, you may as well follow on Instagram as it's the place to be! But their algorithm is a mystery so maybe sign up for my newsletter to never miss a post! ♡

This sounds and looks delicious! It’s definitely on my must-try list now as I’m a chocoholic and absolutely love strawberries. Gotta wait till next summer though, probably, for fresh strawberries :'(

Thanks darling! It’s to die for, I always look forward to making it in the summer – and in the winter, I guess we’ll just have to make do with the chocolate alone 😀
