Best Chocolate Covered Strawberry Tarts Recipes

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Lay 1 sheet of the pie dough on the floured surface. Lightly brush the dough with water, then place the second sheet of dough directly on top. Roll the double layer of dough into a 12-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing into the bottom and trimming any excess at the top of the pan. Use a fork to gently prick holes all over the bottom of the crust. Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill it with dried beans, uncooked rice or pie weights. Bake until the edges brown slightly, about 20 minutes; remove the foil and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown all over, about 20 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack while making the filling.
• Heat the cream, milk and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to a simmer and the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to stir in the egg.
• Spread the jam over the bottom of the tart. Pour the chocolate mixture over the jam and bake until the filling is slightly jiggly in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold. Top with sliced strawberries.

• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Gently press end of wooden spoon into bottoms and against sides of baking cups to flatten, being careful not to make holes in dough. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Open crescent rolls. There should be 4 large rectangles that can be made into 8 triangles in each package. Keep the rectangles together and pinch together along the triangle line. Roll the rectangles with a rolling pin to thin them out a bit. Cut the rectangles in half so they make 2 squares. You should have 16 total squares.
• Place each square into a muffin tin that has been lined with cooking spray. The 4 corners of the square should be sticking out.
• Cut the strawberries into quarters and toss them together with the sugar until well coated. Add a scoop of strawberries into each pastry square, then pinch together the 4 corners of the pastry.
• I like to sprinkle a little more sugar over the top of each one, but this is optional.
• Bake at 375 for 13 to 15 minutes or until the pastries look golden. Cool completely then remove from muffin tins.
• Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in a small bowl at 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted but not hot. Spoon the melted chocolate into a sandwich size plastic baggie. Cut a tiny hole off one of the corners of the baggie. Squeeze the chocolate in decorative lines over the tarts.

• Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor and mix. Add walnuts; process until chopped. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yolks and process just until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten to disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven 375°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Roll out dough between sheets of waxed paper to 11-inch round. Peel off top sheet of paper. Transfer crust to prepared pan, pressing dough firmly to fit pan and patching if necessary. Discard paper. Trim edges of crust. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Spread jam in crust. Return to oven and bake until jam sets, about 4 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
• For Filling:
• Heat cream in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles appear around edges. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted. Cool until mixture is room temperature and beginning to thicken but still pourable, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes. Pour chocolate filling into crust. Refrigerate until filling is set, about 1 hour 45 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. cover and keep refrigerated.)
• Arrange strawberries cut side down in concentric circles atop filling. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 hour.
