Bearby’s Easy Chocolate Tart

I have simply lost count of the many many times I have made this super easy chocolate tart.

I make it that often that it’s not just a Chocolate Tart it’s Bearbys Chocolate Tart.

That’s my nick name with the wonderful kids (not so much kids these days) but I’m still Bearby!

Always has been and I always will be Bearby  and I love that everyone still calls it Bearbys Tart – and now my grandson calls me Nannie Bearby 🙂 

This beauty is is a total family favourite here. 

This lovely tart is actually a  take on Jamie’s recipe, but modified by me over the years

(I always dedicate this pud to the lovely Victoria, my beautiful Niece).

It’s requested at EVERY family party always and usually I end up making two.

 

Keep the pasty thin for your tart 

One very important think you must keep the pastry thin, really thin but with no holes and the filling should cut like butter.

You don’t need much of this Tart to satisfy that chocolate craving, it really is so yummy and rich.

Chocolate Tart - so good and amazingly rich and smooth

 

Mixing up the Chocolates in your tart 

I switch between half milk, half dark, however you can decide yourself. It really does depend on your taste

And I see no reason why you couldn’t add a bit of orange zest?

Chocolate orange – yum!

 

What to serve with your chocolate tart 

I serve a small piece with raspberries and a smidge of single cream – flipping lovely!

Somehow the raspberries seen to ‘cut’ through the sweetness. And it looks so pretty and elegant served like this 

I also tent to dust in icing sugar too 

Have a go and let me know how you get on – oh and leave me a comment below the recipe.

I love your comments

Please remember it’s rich and therefor you only need a small slice
