Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare tartlet crusts by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 2-3 tbsp ice water and pulse until dough just comes together. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 12 circles to fit mini tart pans. Press dough circles into pans, prick bottoms with a fork, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
  3. Step 3: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 3 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Melt 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Dip 12 medium fresh strawberries halfway into melted chocolate, place on parchment paper, and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Fill each tartlet shell with whipped cream, then top each with a chocolate-dipped strawberry. Serve immediately or keep chilled.
