Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3 tbsp cold water gradually, mixing until dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly.
- Step 2: Bake tart shell for 20-22 minutes until edges are golden brown. Remove and cool completely.
- Step 3: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp rose water until soft peaks form. Spread rose-infused whipped cream evenly in cooled tart shell.
- Step 4: Melt 4 oz dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Step 5: Dip each of the 12 medium fresh strawberries halfway into the melted dark chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place on parchment paper to set.
- Step 6: Arrange chocolate-dipped strawberries on top of the rose cream in the tart. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
