Your weekly chocolate fix in the form of an easy chocolate tart is right here. It stays for days in the fridge, not that it will actually last that long. The simple ganache filling is elevated to an untimate showstopper standard by the addition of dark chocolate decorations which are nothing but melted chocolate, set in beautiful molds.

The easy chocolate tart is simpler than it looks and tastier than it sounds. A slice of this tart is the perfect treat you gift to yourself after a hard week of labour. You deserve it!

The filling can be customised to your taste by a variety of options. Add orange zest or lemon zest for a citrus-y finish, a tsp of instant coffee powder for a mocha twist, fold in nuts or berries for a delicious bite. It’s totally left to your imagination. If you’d like a no-bake tart, you could use a biscuit crust for the base instead of a baked crust. A store bought ready crust is also fine. For the decorations, you could use white or milk chocolate as well or a combination.
