No Bake Chocolate Tart

No Bake Chocolate Tart

Double Chocolate Tart- a rich and creamy chocolate tart that's easy to make and worth splurging for...

Ingredients:

Sweet Tart pastry- you can make one or a store bought one. {See recipe below}. 

Tart dough: 1 stick butter

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1 eggyolk {room temperature}

1 1/4 cup flour

Chocolate Filling:

1 cup or 6 oz. of good quality chocolate chips {chop if too big}

1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Sweet Tart Dough- Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla, salt and eggyolk. Add flour and combine until crumbly. Form dough into a ball and refrigerate for an hour or so {dough can be refrigerated for 2 days or freeze it so you have one ready when you need one}.Take out dough when you are ready to use it.{20 minutes prior}. Roll out dough on a floured surface and flatten it out with a floured rolling pin, the size of your  removable pie/tart tray. Pick dough with fork and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes while preheating oven to 350 degrees.Bake dough for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let  tart crust cool completely. {pat down any bubbles form on the tart}.

Chocolate Filling- Heat cream in a stainless steel and add chopped chocolates halfway through when the cream is almost warm to touch but not scalding hot. Gently stir till combine. Stirring too fast will cause bubbles to form. {I use the double boiler method- warm water on pan and place stainless steel on top, this keeps the cream from a direct heat source and prevents the chocolate from burning}. Make sure not to get any water to your chocolate while melting or it will seize and ruin the chocolate mixture. Pour chocolate mixture into pre-baked tart shell and tap gently to form an even filling. Leave tart to completely cool in the fridge 2-3 hours or more and serve to enjoy!

This is so decadent! Enjoy this with a glass of milk, or whatever drink you have on hand, its so worth it! Top it off with a whipped cream!

You can flavor your filling with anything you fancy- almond, brandy,  or orange liqueur.

I love the crust on this one- its crunchy and has a nuttiness texture. You can use this dough recipe to anything that calls a tart shell.

Mmmmmmmmh. Chocolate tart.

Decadent  Chocolate Tart! This dessert is sure to wipe away the troubles of the day or maybe the week! Enjoy this.
