Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

250 grams dark chocolate (about 8.8 ounces)
125 grams heavy cream (30% fat or higher, about 4.4 ounces)
60 grams milk (about 2.1 ounces)
2 large eggs
50 grams unsalted butter (about 1.8 ounces)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Base

Begin by crushing the digestive biscuits until they become fine crumbs. This will serve as the crust for your tart. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

Once the butter is melted, mix it with the biscuit crumbs until they are well combined. Make sure every crumb is coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a tart pan.

Bake the crust in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 10 minutes. This will help the base set up nicely.

Step 2

Make the Filling

While the base is baking, prepare the chocolate filling. In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a gentle boil. Be careful not to let it overflow.

Once boiling, pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Stir the mixture until it is completely smooth and combined.

Add the eggs to the chocolate mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated. Your filling should be silky and rich.

Step 3

Assemble and Bake

Remove the baked tart crust from the oven and carefully pour the chocolate filling into the crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Bake the tart at 150°C (300°F) for 20-30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

Step 4

Chill and Serve

Once baked, allow the tart to cool to room temperature. This is essential for perfect texture.

Then, place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before slicing. This will help it firm up and make it easier to cut.

Enjoy your decadent chocolate tart with family and friends!

Faq

  • How do I know when the tart is done baking?

    Look for the edges to be set and the center should still have a slight jiggle. This means it will firm up as it cools.

  • Can I make the tart the night before?

    Absolutely! In fact, it's best to let it chill in the fridge overnight to enhance the flavors.

  • Can I substitute other types of chocolate?

    Yes! Feel free to experiment with dark, milk, or even white chocolate, keeping in mind the sweetness levels may vary!

  • What can I do if my tart crust is too crumbly?

    Make sure your butter is properly melted and evenly mixed with the crushed biscuits. If it’s still crumbly, add a little more melted butter.

  • When is the best time to serve the tart?

    The best time is about 4 hours after it's been refrigerated, allowing it to set perfectly.

  • Can I freeze leftovers?

    Yes! Wrap the tart tightly in plastic and store it in the freezer for up to a month. Just thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.
