Gingered Strawberry Tart

"I saw this recipe in Taste of Home and it looked so pretty and delicious I couldn't resist trying it and posting it here to share. It is a very elegant looking dessert but so simple to make. The gingersnap crust is such a perfect complement to the strawberries. A scrumptious dessert without a lot of calories. I'm sure it will taste even more delicious when strawberries are in season. Prep time does not include time for chilling."

  1. This was desert on Mother's Day. I skipped the crystallized ginger but it was still great.
     
  2. I am sure these would taste loads better with fresh strawberries but I had none and I used fresh frozen and it still tasted pretty darn good! Looks gorgeous too.
