Step 1: Gather the ingredients
In order to make this no-bake gluten dairy free chocolate strawberry tart you need just a handful of ingredients and tools:
- Gluten and Dairy Free Oreo Cookies – Or you can use any gluten/dairy free cookie.
- Dairy free butter
- Gluten and Dairy Free chocolate chips/chocolate bars
- Coconut milk creamer
- Strawberries – Wash and dried
Tools
- Tart pan
- Spoon
- Bowls
- Kitchen spray
- Plastic ziplock bag or food processor
- Rolling pin (optional)
Step 2: How to make a no-bake gluten and dairy free chocolate strawberry tart
Begin by crumbling up the cookies. There are a variety of ways to do this. You can use a food processor if you like, or you can put them in a ziplock bag and use your hands or a rolling pin to mash them up. There are a few others, but those are the most common ways.
Crush them up into pretty small crumbs. You don’t have to be too crazy about it, ensuring that every single crumb is the same size, or anything like that.
Melt the dairy free butter in the microwave or in a pot on the stovetop. It only takes a few seconds in the microwave.
Pour the melted butter over the crushed up gluten dairy free Oreo style cookies. Stir the mixture until the crumbs are well coated with the butter and the mixture resembles damp sand.
Or if you are using a food processor, just add the melted butter and mix for a few seconds until combined.
Spray the tart pan with cooking spray, then pour the damp cookie crumbs into the pan and spread it out evenly.
Use the back of a spoon, clean hands, or the bottom of a glass to pack down the crumbs and press them up the sides of the tart pan.
Step 3: Dairy free chocolate ganache
Time to make the chocolate ganache. Heat the coconut milk creamer in the microwave until it is really hot, just shy of boiling. Or heat it up in a pot on the stovetop. It takes about a minute and a half in the microwave.
Pour the hot coconut milk creamer over a bowl of dairy free chocolate chips or broken up chocolate bar. Let the bowl sit undisturbed for 8 to 10 minutes.
After that stir it until well combined. You may need to put the whole bowl back in the microwave and heat it up, if it hasn’t melted appropriately.
Pour the chocolate ganache into the tart pan with the cookie base. Spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula or something.
Place washed and dried strawberry halves into the ganache cut side down. If you wanted to you could add other fruit as well like raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc.
Now all you need to do is place the gluten dairy free chocolate strawberry tart in the fridge and allow to chill and set for at least 2 hours.
Once the tart has set you can serve it as is, or dust the top with powdered sugar if you like. Slice and enjoy!
How long does a gluten dairy free chocolate strawberry tart last?
This dessert will last about a week in the fridge. You can also free it if you like for a few months.
