Recipe
For CRUST, preheat oven to 375°. In large bowl, with electric mixer, beat I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! ® Spread, flour, sugar and salt at low speed until combined.

Add cocoa powder to remaining dough in mixer and beat at low speed until blended. Shape into 3- x 5-inch rectangle; chill about 1 hour.
On lightly floured surface, place chocolate dough on top of plain dough, gently pressing together; cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch strips. Turn each strip on its side and press together. Roll pastry into 12-inch circle. Lift and press into 9-inch tart pan; chill. Bake 17 minutes or until golden. On wire rack, cool 10 minutes.
For FILLING, in medium saucepan, combine milk, egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes very thick and begins to stick to pan. Remove from heat and with wire whisk, blend in vanilla and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! ® Spread until smooth; cool slightly. Pour into prepared crust and level off with spatula. Spoon on jelly; chill until set, about 1 hour. Garnish, if desired, with sliced strawberries and chocolate shavings.
