Prep Time 25 mins
Chilling time 4 mins
Servings 4 slices

Ingredients
  

For the tart shell

  • 125 g all-purpose flour
  • 85 g [1/4 cup+2 tbsp] butter
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
  • 1.5 tbsp ice cold water

For the chocolate filling

  • 185 g [1.5 cups] chocolate
  • 200 ml heavy cream [I used Amul cream]
  • 42 g [3 tbsp] butter

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add the flour and sugar and lightly whisk until combined
  • Add in the cold butter, and using your fingertips, rub in the butter, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. 
  • Add in the ice water, and bring the dough together.
  • Wrap the dough in cling wrap, and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
  • After chilling, preheat the oven to 180 ºC
  • Roll out the dough as big as your tart tin (depends on the size, if you are using mini tart tins or a regular sized tin; mine was 6inches in diameter)
  • Lay it over your tart tin, and gently press into the edges; trim off the excess pastry.
  • Place a large piece of baking paper over the case, and fill it with baking beans/any other kind of beans. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the beans, and cook for another 5-7 minutes. The beans prevent the tart to shrink
  • Keep the crust aside to cool
  • To make the chocolate filling, roughly chop the chocolate and put it in a large bowl along with the butter.
  • Heat the cream in a pan. Turn off the heat as soon as you see bubbles
  • Gently pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir the mixture until smooth
  • Now, pour the chocolate mixture in the tart crust, and cool in the fridge overnight. 
  • Garnish with lines of milk chocolate and chopped nuts.

Who doesn’t love a good chocolate tart?

Buttery, flaky crust, with the creamiest and chocolate-iest filling- this tart will make you weak in the knees.

AND, its eggless!

All you have to do is bake a tart crust (or mini tart crusts) and pour the shiny, creamy chocolate ganache in!

Need I give any more reasons to try this out?
