A sweet pastry crust filled with creamy nutella and cream cheese filling and topped with luscious fresh strawberries. This tart is so pretty and also pretty easy to make!
I am so excited about today’s post. Today’s fresh strawberry and nutella tart was one of the most gorgeous desserts I’ve photographed for a long time.
When I was thinking about creating this tart I knew right off the bat that I wanted to make something with strawberries because in my mind they are the prettiest fruit. Apparently a lot of other people love strawberries as much as me, because for several weeks in a row every time I went to the grocery store they were sold out of strawberries! I finally got a hold of some good ones and whipped up this easy strawberry nutella tart. This tart starts off with a homemade sweet pastry crust. The filling is a super creamy and chocolatey no bake combination of cream cheese, nutella, and whipped topping. It’s then finished with a layer of fresh sliced strawberries.
Tarts look like a lot of work, but they aren’t really. The hardest part of this strawberry chocolate tart is layering the strawberries to look pretty! Maybe that’s just the perfectionist in me sneaking out. The crust and filling can be made a day or so ahead of serving time, but it’s best not to put the strawberries on the top until just before serving this tart so they stay nice and fresh and don’t leak strawberry juice into the chocolate filling.
Be prepared for no leftovers when you make this one! Every time I take this strawberry nutella tart somewhere I come home with an empty plate.

Hi! Is whipped top the same as the frozen whipped cream you buy? the one you dethaw and whip together?
Thanks!

Everyone got so creative with their fruit ingredients! But I really love how you paired Nutella, cream cheese, and strawberries here! My husband and I just picked 14 lbs (!) of strawberries from a local field, this will be a great way to use up some of them! :)

You're right - the pictures are amazing!! The tart looks so good -- you may be a perfectionist but it sure pays off in the way you layered these strawberries! The other 'yums of the month' look good too. What a great idea!

What a gorgeous tart! I love the almonds in the crust. My mother loves strawberries and her birthday is coming up later this month. I'll have to bake this for her!
