Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough holds together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the tart crust with parchment paper, fill with baking weights or dried beans, and bake for 15-22 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely before filling it with the ganache.
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers, then pour it over chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to melt.
- Stir the mixture gently until smooth and glossy; mix in vanilla extract.
- Pour the ganache into the cooled tart crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Once set, arrange fresh strawberries on top. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
- Slice using a warm knife for clean edges. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes
Chill the tart before slicing for neat edges. Use ripe strawberries for best flavor.
