Don't miss out on trying this amazing dessert made with dark chocolate and caramel. This pie has a crunchy amaranth crust, a deliciously smooth caramel filling, and a thick layer of dark chocolate. Best of all, it is garnished with strawberries, which gives it a spectacular flavor contrast.

For the crust, in a bowl mix the amaranth with the chocolate and butter, using a spoon to form a crust in a pie mold, refrigerate for 10 minutes and set aside. Heat your T-fal® Hard Titanium+ skillet over medium heat, when the red spot (Thermo-spot) is completely red, add the caramel candies and cook until melted, then add the heavy cream, butter, and nuts, mixing well. Pour the previous preparation over the mold and chill for 20 minutes. Heat the heavy cream, add the dark chocolate and cardamom. Mix until combined and let cool for 10 minutes. Pour the ganache over the caramel, spread with a spatula and garnish with strawberries. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set. Garnish with mint and serve.
