Chocolate Mascarpone Ganache Tart with Strawberries

Serves 10-12 Prep Time 1 hours 30 minutes   Cook Time 30 minutes   Rated:

This is such a pretty thing...really isn’t it? And I have to say, no complaints on taste either. I love the crisp pearls from Callebaut, but they are not that easy to source. You can purchase them online from Savour Chocolate and Patissierie School in Melbourne (or in person if you live there!) and also some continental grocers will stock them. But they are not a deal breaker on this dessert and can be left off...but they are cute!

I think you should schedule this one for a special occasion, (Valentines Day is just around the corner!!) and be prepared to be asked to make it again. I know I will be! (Which I don’t say very often.)

Go and do!
