No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Tart. Easy to make and so decadent and delicious – perfect for chocolate lovers! Vegan, Gluten Free and Paleo Friendly recipe.
No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Tart (Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)
For all of you fellow chocolate lovers out there, this one is for you! This No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Tart is oh-so-decadent, irresistibly good, absolutely gorgeous and surprisingly….extremely simple! This recipe takes just 10 minutes to make with only a handful of ingredients.
It has a gooey brownie crust layer that’s made very simply with blended nuts and dates. And then there’s an easy chocolate ganache layer made with your favorite melted chocolate bar. Next comes a layer of red, delicious and ripe, juicy strawberries. And finally, some more melted chocolate is drizzled all over the top. Swoon.
It’s like a triple chocolate strawberry treat….oh baby, oh baby!
One of the cool things about this treat is that it’s gluten free (and can easily be made vegan and paleo friendly with your favorite vegan and paleo friendly chocolate bar!) and made with simple, wholesome ingredients. And it’s so rich and chocolate-y that you only need a very small piece to satisfy that chocolate craving 🙂
If you adore a rich, decadent chocolate treat like me, I think you’ll especially enjoy this recipe!
No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Tart Recipe:
- 1 cup pitted dried dates (I use THESE)
- 1 cup nuts of choice (I like walnuts the best!)
- ⅓ cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder (I use THIS)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- 2 (3-ounces each) of your favorite dark chocolate bars (THESE are my fav!) or to switch it up, you can use white chocolate bars, too!
- ⅓ cup milk of choice (I use THIS coconut milk)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- Add pitted dates, nuts, cacao powder, vanilla and sea salt to a high powered blender and blend until the mixture is finely chopped and clumped together.
- Press the date/nut mixture into the bottom and a little up the sides of a parchment lined 4"x8" loaf pan to form a crust. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, break up the dark chocolate bars, add them and your milk in a small pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow the chocolate to melt until it's completely smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the date/nut crust, reserving a bit of chocolate to drizzle over the top of the strawberries, if desired.
- Add your sliced strawberries on top of the melted chocolate layer and then drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, slice and enjoy! 🙂 Store leftovers in fridge.

I had to laugh when I looked up the chocolate bars…that is one of my favorite brands too. Not only do I love the chocolate, I’m a sucker for cute packaging. This tart sounds amazing. And wanted to let you know I making making your Greek fish skillet AGAIN tonight. It’s that good! The fact that it is so easy doesn’t hurt either.
I love all their flavors, Elizabeth…especially the mint chocolate! That’s my go-to one 🙂 So glad you are liking the Greek Fish Skillet, too!
Thanks for this recipe. Loved it. Looks so yummy.
🙂 Thanks for the comment, Vidya!
Hi Kelly can you help? I’m new to following you and am enjoying some of your recipe ideas in particular the breakfast smoothies, I always wondered why although I was having healthy ingredients I was starving by mid morning and now I know, protein!!! Anyway I saw a recipe for a cacao based smoothie think you called it your chunky smoothie but can’t find it now, could you send me the lunk please? Many thanks xx p.s I loved your article on destressing and losing weight and am currently working through the list a couple at a time!!! xx

Thanks again for your support and for reading – it means a lot to me! And many blessings to you on your health journey!
I made this last week. I must say it is beyond wonderful. Mine even turned out as pretty as yours. Thanks for the great recipe!
This makes me so happy to hear, Pam!
What a wonderful post. This recipe looks amazing. My mom just looked over my shoulder and drooled at your photos. I think we might try to make it while I am here visiting.
Thank you, Alex! What a fun thing to do with your mom – I hope you both enjoy it!
How far in advance can you make this? Wonder if the strawberries will make it too moist/mushy? Could it be made the night before use?
I make it the night before and it’s always come out great – no mushy issues! Sometimes I have some leftover and it’s fine the next day, too.
This was a total WIN for my friend’s b-day “cake”. So easy, I made it the night before. I had extra chocolate leftover, and used the last of my garden’s mixed berries on top. So good and so easy. Everyone was soooo impressed 🙂 Thank you!
So awesome, Janet!
I wanted to make this tomorrow for a friend but she has a nut allergy. Can I swap them out with gf pretzels? Thank you for your getting back to me.
Lynda, that’s a great idea! It should work out great!
This chocolate contains soy. Do you know of any soy free chocolate?
Hi Deborah, Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips don’t contain soy. These Hu chocolate bars are also amazing and made with coconut sugar and cocoa butter. No soy, no dairy, no refined sugar, GMO free, etc. Green and Black’s Organic Chocolate Bars are also soy-free and really good – another one of my favorite chocolate bars! You may be able to find them at Whole Foods or at my Amazon links (clink on the links in blue if you want to check them out). Hope that helps!
Thank you!
This recipe was so easy and my husband loved it. I enjoyed one slice but no more. Carb count must be high due to the natural sugar in the dates, but it’s great to have a truly decadent dessert recipe with no added sugar. I used Green & Black’s organic 85%.
