Nutella pudding with a homemade tart crust topped with strawberries. Fruit and chocolate combined to make the perfect summertime dessert!
A couple weeks ago, I finally went strawberry picking.
My cousin came up for a visit, and when I mentioned I’ve always wanted to go, she was on board.
Nobody told me it’s actually a lot of work!
Finding the best strawberries took a bit of time and effort, but by the end of it we were left with 3 pounds of the stuff and didn’t know what we should do with it first.
So of course we turn to Pinterest to help us make up our minds and we came across this little gem for a Nutella pudding strawberry tart.
All things considered, it didn’t really use up that many of our strawberries but we were excited nonetheless. Just look how pretty!
What I like about adding fruit to my dessert is that it makes it feel like it’s instantly more healthy. More vitamins and stuff. Which means you can have seconds, right?
I already posted the Nutella pudding recipe, and if you don’t want to make the tart then you can try it with a pre-made crust instead.
Though the tart doesn’t take that much time, especially if you’re baking it while you are making the filling.
Overall, I’d say our first strawberry recipe was a success.
What are your favorite ways to cook or bake with strawberries? Have you ever been strawberry picking?

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a food processor, add flour, sugar and butter and pulse until butter is mixed in, about 20 seconds.
- Add vinegar and pulse until it becomes consistency of dough.
- Form dough into crust in a 9 inch round pie pan.
- Bake for at 350 for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
