Every year Dad and I go to the local farm and pick more strawberries than we can eat. We love this farm so much, he waits until I’m home for the weekend then we go picking.

As we head back to the car, I ramble about all the stuff to make – strawberry jam, strawberry cake, strawberry shortcake, strawberry ice cream, strawberry pie.

One of my favorite strawberry desserts is this Strawberry Smores Tart because I love smores so much. The gooey marshmallows. The messy chocolate. The crunchy graham crackers. Adding fresh strawberries makes the tart even more summery.

If you ignore the fact the marshmallow fluff isn’t toasted, it has everything you want in a s’mores – graham cracker, marshmallow, and lots of chocolate. Some purists will shout blasphemy at adding fresh fruit. I say the strawberries add another layer of flavor. Who doesn’t love chocolate covered strawberries?

The chocolate filling is known as ganache, which is chocolate and heavy cream melted together then used as either a glaze or filling. To make the chocolate firm enough to slice, I used a 2:1 ratio of chocolate to cream.

Not a fan of strawberries? You can substitute other fruit, such as raspberries, cherries, or banana. Or leave out the fruit altogether.

This recipe is almost no bake. I did bake the graham cracker crust because the strawberries made a no bake crust a little soggy. I used a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom (affiliate link). However, you can certainly use a pie plate.

Because chocolate melts, it’s best to keep this tart refrigerated until ready to slice and serve. Having trouble making clean slices? Dip a knife in hot water, wipe it dry, then slice.
