Simple Chocolate Tart

Oh friends, I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about this recipe! Healthy, it is not, (let’s just get that right out of the way), but what this beautifully simple chocolate tart lacks in nutrients, it more than makes up for in flavor!

With just four basic ingredients, this ridiculously easy, decadently rich, and breathtakingly delicious tart comes together in minutes.  It has already become our go-to dessert for every gathering, and after just one bite I’m pretty sure you’ll see why!

Here is what you need:

1 pre-made graham cracker or chocolate graham crust
2 cups heavy cream
1 bag (at least 15oz) high quality semisweet chocolate chunks (preferably Ghiradelli)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
whole strawberries for garnish (optional)
whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Step 1: Carefully bring heavy cream to a boil in a heavy sauce pan over medium high heat; add vanilla and set aside.

Step 2: Process chocolate chunks in food processor until ground into a fine powder. With processor running, slowly pour hot cream and vanilla in a slow steady stream until fully blended. (Stop to scrape sides if necessary.

Step 3: Pour mixture into crust and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight. Garnish with strawberries and/or whipped cream, if desired.
