Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch chocolate cookie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream for topping
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • to garnish extra chocolate drizzle or chocolate curls

Method
 

  1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream using a microwave in short intervals or over a double boiler until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the chocolate cookie crust and spread evenly. Chill for 10 minutes to slightly set.
  3. Arrange the halved strawberries cut-side down over the chocolate layer, covering the entire surface of the pie.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the strawberries.
  6. Drizzle with extra melted chocolate or sprinkle with chocolate curls for garnish.
  7. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before slicing to allow the pie to fully set.

Notes

For a firmer ganache layer, allow the chocolate base to chill slightly longer before adding strawberries. You can also brush the strawberries lightly with a thin layer of melted chocolate to help preserve freshness. Store refrigerated and serve chilled.
