Description
Chocolate Tart is a rich, velvety dessert with a buttery crust and smooth chocolate filling. Perfect for any occasion and easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the tart crust:
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
- For the chocolate filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth. Whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla, then add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Notes
- Use cold butter and room-temperature eggs to avoid curdling.
- Chill the tart thoroughly before serving for the best texture.
- Decorate with whipped cream, berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
