Chocolate ganache tart is extremely chocolaty, delicious and a great chocolate dessert to serve after a meal or even a great addition to a dessert table. Chocolate ganache tart is also known as the chocolate tart is rich in chocolate. Therefore if chocolate is not your cup of tea this dessert is not for you. But let’s be honest who the hell doesn’t like chocolate?
Chocolate Ganache Tart
The first time I had chocolate ganache tart was in France. This was the first dessert I learned to make in France as well. When I first had it even for me it was too chocolaty and it was too rich. The chocolate quality that I used to have back home and in France was so different. France we had the best quality chocolate and it was rich and super chocolaty but over time, I grew to like this dessert. In France, we didn’t serve it with any fruits, just the chocolate tart with whipped cream on the top but the addition of the red berries and the sweet shortcut pastry just works perfectly well.
The chocolate tart recipe I have done here. The ganache is not super solid it is creamy and palatable, exactly the way it should be. Some recipes make it extra hard which is not very pleasant to eat. This recipe is directly from France and I have decorated it with berries to balance out the rich chocolate flavour with the tartness of the berries and the crunchy element from the shortcrust pastry.
This is one of the most popular chocolate desserts in France.
