4 lbs thin sliced strawberries

Chocolate ganache

3 1/2 cups dairy free semi sweet chocolate chips (I like to get the Costco chocolate chips cost effective and dairy free)

2 cans full fat coconut milk

1 cup sugar

Chocolate tart base

2 1/2 cups gluten free flour (I like bobs red mill)

1/2 cup water

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1/4 cup water

For the chocolate ganache in a double broiler over medium high heat start to melt the chocolate. Stir occasionally until melted, while you do that in a glass bowl heat coconut milk in microwave. Remove chocolate from heat place glass bowl with milk on double broiler add chocolate whisking until fully incorporated. Now whisk in sugar. Once everything is fully incorporated remove from heat cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350

For the chocolate tart whisk together flour, sugar and cocoa powder. Next blend in butter with your fingers or with a pastry cutter until fully incorporated it should resemble the texture of a pie crust. Line a two 9x13 pan with parchment paper press dough into the bottom of the pan then bake for roughly 20 minutes or until the edges darken slightly. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

for the glaze in a small sauce pot combine sugar and the 1/2 cup of water bring to a boil. Once boiling mix corn starch with 1/4 cup water together before adding to boiling sugar and water turn down heat whisk in cornstarch mixture and allow to thicken slightly.

once cooled layer in the ganache top with strawberry slices and glaze over top. Slice, serve and enjoy.
