10 Do’s, Don’ts & Garnish Tips For A Stunning Chocolate Tart

By Bhavana Verma

Use High-Quality Dark Chocolate

For a perfect flavor, go for Bournville dark chocolate with 60%-70% cocoa concentration.

Blind-Bake the Tart Shell

Pre-bake the crust to prevent sogginess and ensure a crisp texture despite adding the filling.

Let Ganache Set

After pouring filling, refrigerate the ganache for 3 hours to make sure tart is set and still creamy.

Balance Sweetness

Rich chocolate goes well with a touch of salt, espresso, or fruits for balanced flavor.

Avoid Common Mistakes

Do not overheat chocolate or cream or it can cause graininess in tart. Warm them gently.

Don’t Skip Chilling Time

Before serving, let the tart chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Add Adequate Garnish

Avoid getting too overboard with garnishes, instead use it just enough to enhance the appeal.

Add Chocolate Curls

Use chocolate curls and chocolate shavings for garnishing.

Top With Berries

The bright color and fruity flavor of fresh berries infuses a delightful flavor and enhances the appeal.

Dust With Cocoa Powder

For the finish touch, dust the tart with cocoa powder.
