    These Chocolate Ganache Strawberry Tartlets are so easy to make and are a no bake recipe so no need to put on the oven. Made with a cookie crust filled with lush chocolate ganache, and topped with strawberries makes the perfect dessert for date night or family gatherings.

    Chocolate ganache tartlet topped with heart shaped strawberries and drizzled with white chocolate with 3 fresh strawberries on the side.

    I made these chocolate ganache tartlets with strawberries for Valentine's day and cut the strawberries into heart shapes because in my opinion chocolate is the food of love!

    If you are looking for some Valentine's day inspiration also see my list of gluten free Valentine's desserts or more strawberry desserts like my gluten free strawberry cupcakes and gluten free strawberry cheesecake.

    I have in the past decorated the gluten free chocolate tarts with different styles just like in my mini gluten free strawberry tart. If you love gluten free no bake desserts then this will be perfect!

    The Tart base can also be made with chocolate cookies or Oreos if you want a chocolate cookie base. I have previously used Oreos in my Billy miner pie base and Chocolate Oreo tart.

    Ingredients

    labeled ingredients for chocolate strawberry tartlets.

    Cookie Crust

    • Cookies - This recipe works well with Oreos, digestives, graham crackers, or sugar cookies. I used gluten free digestives to make gluten free chocolate tartlets but have used Oreos in the past for a chocolate cookie crust just like in my Oreo tart and Billy Miner pie.
    • Butter - I used unsalted butter and melted it in the microwave.

    Chocolate Ganache Filling

    • Chocolate - Dark, milk, or a combination of both. I used both milk and dark chocolate as I feel that the milk chocolate balances out the bitterness of the dark chocolate. You can use your preferred chocolate.
    • Heavy cream - Also known as Double cream.

    Toppings

    • Fresh Strawberries - You can use your desired amount to decorate the top of the tarts.
    • White chocolate - Optional. I like to melt a little white chocolate and drizzle it on top of the Chocolate tarts to decorate.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Variations

    I made this no bake Chocolate tart with strawberries using a cookie base. I have included some variations below that I have made in the past.

    • Shortcrust pastry tart - If you prefer a pastry tartlet use shortcrust pastry for the base and blind bake before adding the filling. I used my gluten free shortcrust pastry when making my Mini strawberry tarts.
    • Large Chocolate Tart - If you want to make one large tart follow the recipe and use a 9-inch tart tin just like in my gluten free banoffee pie recipe.
    • Raspberry chocolate tart - Raspberries also pair really well with chocolate ganache. Just swap the strawberries for raspberries or use both if preferred.

    Instructions

    cookies broken into crumbs in a food bag.
    cookie crumbs in a clear bowl for cookie pie base.
    • Place the cookies in a food bag and using a rolling pin or wooden spoon crush them until they resemble crumbs then add to a mixing bowl. (You can use a food blender if preferred).
    • Melt the butter and add to the crumb mixture, Mix well until fully combined.
    • Divide the mixture into the 6 tart tins. Spread evenly and press down firmly on the crumb mixture until it feels firm and compact on the sides and bottom of the tin. Place in the fridge to set. I recommend leaving them to set in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.

    • Chop the chocolate up as finely as you can and place it in a large bowl.
    • Add cream into a non-stick saucepan and heat on medium-high heat until the cream is hot stirring continuously. DO NOT bring the cream to a boil.
    • Carefully pour the hot cream into the bowl with the chopped chocolate and leave it to sit for 3-4 minutes. This will allow the hot cream to begin to melt the chocolate.
    • Stir the melted chocolate and cream together until fully combined and smooth. Leave the chocolate ganache to cool for approx. 15 minutes.

    • Once the chocolate ganache has had time to cool pour it into each cookie tartlet till almost full. (I find this easier to do if I transfer the ganache into a jug first making it easier to pour).
    • Place in the refrigerator to set for approx. 2 hours until firm to the touch.
    • Decorate with fresh strawberries and drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
    • Serve and enjoy!

    Tip: Always check that you are using chocolate that is gluten free if you are following a gluten free diet. You can also check out my Gluten free Chocolate list.

    Storage

    Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If making in advance I would advise waiting until the day of serving to add the berries. They can be eaten cold or removed from the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
