Chocolate Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter pieces and use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until coarse crumbs form.
2. Add the cold water gradually, stirring with a fork, until the dough forms a ball.
3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and, on a lightly floured surface, roll it out into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the corners and trimming off any excess dough.
6. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool slightly while preparing the filling.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
8. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly, until well combined.
9. Pour the chocolate filling into the tart shell and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.

Verdict:

This chocolate tart is a decadent dessert that’s sure to impress. The rich, chocolatey filling and buttery crust come together to create a dessert that’s both sophisticated and satisfying!

Serving Suggestions:

Serve each slice of chocolate tart with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra-special presentation. For an added burst of flavor, try topping the tart with fresh berries or drizzling it with chocolate sauce.
