Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl by combining the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate the egg yolk and gradually add cold water until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly and prick the bottom with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and let it cool completely.
- Heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow the ganache to set.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the tart and garnish with optional mint leaves and powdered sugar.
- Slice the tart and serve it chilled or at room temperature.
