Decadent Chocolate Tart

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Tart.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious tart, grab your food processor and toss in the flour, sugar, and salt.

2. Step 2

   Give it a few quick pulses until everything is nicely blended.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the cold butter, pulsing again until the mixture takes on a crumbly texture that resembles coarse sand.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to bring it all together—slowly drizzle in some cold water while pulsing until the dough forms a cohesive ball.

5. Step 5

   Once you’ve got that perfect dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to chill.

6. Step 6

   While the dough is cooling, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease an 8-inch tart pan to ensure your crust comes out easily.

7. Step 7

   After the hour is up, take your chilled dough and place it on a floured surface.

8. Step 8

   Roll it out into a lovely 10-inch circle with your rolling pin, making sure it’s even and smooth.

9. Step 9

   Carefully lift the rolled dough and transfer it to your prepared tart pan, trimming any excess from the edges.

10. Step 10

    To prevent any bubbling during baking, use a fork to prick the bottom and sides of the dough.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time to bake! Place the tart crust in your preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until it’s beautifully golden brown.

12. Step 12

    Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely, which should take about an hour.

13. Step 13

    While your crust is cooling, let’s make the luscious chocolate ganache.

14. Step 14

    In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream for about 2 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming around the edges.

15. Step 15

    Take it out of the microwave and add in the chocolate chips, letting them sit for 15 to 20 seconds.

16. Step 16

    This little pause allows the chocolate to soften perfectly.

17. Step 17

    Then, whisk it all together until you have a smooth, glossy ganache that’s simply irresistible.

18. Step 18

    Pour the rich chocolate ganache into your cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.

19. Step 19

    Allow it to cool at room temperature until it sets, which should take around 30 minutes.

20. Step 20

    For the final touch, refrigerate the tart until you’re ready to serve.

21. Step 21

    When you slice into this delightful treat, you’ll be greeted with a perfectly crisp crust and a velvety chocolate filling that’s sure to impress everyone at the table.
