Fondant Chocolate Tart Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Combine the flour, butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like coarse sand.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Bake the crust until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it comes to a simmer.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Gently fold the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
Bake until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 20 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Serve chilled, with whipped cream and fresh berries on top if desired.

Verdict

This fondant chocolate tart is a rich and indulgent dessert that will satisfy any chocolate lover’s cravings. The crust is buttery and crumbly, providing the perfect base for the smooth and creamy chocolate filling. The tart pairs well with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries for a touch of freshness and acidity to cut through the richness of the chocolate.
