Chocolate Strawberry Tart



I'm not the biggest fan of tarts, but today I had a large box of strawberries and some chocolate on hand, and we all know that theirs nothing better than chocolate & strawberries!!

Ingredients:
-90 gr (3 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
-1 Tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
-3 Tablespoons water
-1 Tablespoon sugar
-1/8 teaspoon salt
-150 g (5 ounces) all purpose flour

How-to:
1.In a saucepan melt butter, add the oil, water, sugar, and pinch of salt. Don’t bring it to a boil, just let the butter melt & mix the ingredients well. 2. In a bowl add melted butter & mix with a fork until you form a dough. 3.Let it rest 4.I used small individual tart pans, and formed small circles and pressed them into the pans. 5.Cut off excess dough and prick the dough with a fork. 6. Bake in the oven for 15-20minute or until golden brown. 7.Take out of oven and let the tarts cool completely.

Filling:
*large bar of dark chocolate or any of your choice
*Strawberries

How-to:
1. Melt chocolate in microwave or with the water bath method. Personally prefer the water bath method. 2. When chocolate is melted, scoop about a full tablespoon into each tart 3. Slice strawberry’s & arrange them on top of the chocolate. 4.Add whop cream of your choice on top of the tarts & enjoy!
