No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Tart (Vegan & Gluten Free)

This no-bake chocolate strawberry tart has a silky dairy-free ganache filling, a crispy almond flour crust — and not a single thing goes in the oven. The crust is almond flour and coconut oil, pressed straight into the pan and chilled. The filling is just four ingredients: dairy-free dark chocolate, coconut milk, vanilla and a touch of maple syrup. That’s it.

No eggs. No dairy. No gluten. No baking. Perfect for Mother’s Day — or honestly any day you want something that looks bakery-level without the effort.

Why You’ll Love This No-Bake Chocolate Strawberry Tart

  • No baking required — just chill and serve
  • Smooth, silky chocolate ganache filling
  • Naturally gluten-free with an almond flour crust
  • Simple ingredients, impressive results
  • Ready in about 20 minutes of active work

Tips for Best Results

  • Use full-fat canned coconut milk — the carton kind is too watery and the ganache won’t set properly.
  • Chop the chocolate finely so it melts evenly when the hot coconut milk is poured over it.
  • Pour the ganache while still warm for a perfectly smooth finish.
  • Chill fully before slicing — at least 1-2 hours in the fridge.
  • Use a warm knife for clean cuts — run it under hot water and wipe dry before each slice.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to the ganache to deepen the chocolate flavour (optional but highly recommended).

How to Store

Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. To make ahead, freeze the crust and ganache (without strawberries) for up to 1 month — add the strawberries fresh before serving.
