Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Rub the butter, flour, cocoa powder and powdered sugar together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in 1 egg yolk and form into a dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45 mins.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to an 11 inch circle. Lay in the base of a 9 inch springform tart pan, press into the sides and trim the edges. Lay a sheet of parchment inside and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for about 15 mins. Remove the paper and beans and bake for 5 more mins. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
In a pan, bring 1 2/3 cups of milk and the sugar to a boil, then stir in 3.5 oz of the chocolate until melted. In a bowl, mix together the remaining egg yolks, milk and the cornstarch until smooth. Stir into the chocolate milk and bring to a boil, stirring for about 1 min. Pour into the tart base and spread smooth. Arrange the strawberries on top, then refrigerate for about 2 hours.
Warm the cream, then melt the remaining chocolate in it. Drizzle over the strawberries before serving.
