Rich Chocolate Tart
Updated: Sep 1, 2020
I'm probably the #1 fan of chocolate! I love it sooo much, however, I'm not a fan of dark chocolate. But in this recipe it's really good cause there's an amazing balance when you eat it with some fresh fruits. Plus the dark chocolate doesn't make it excessively sweet, it makes it extra rich. Plus, the coffee definitely gives a nice kick to the filling! I'm not gonna lie, it probably took me more than one ( or 5) tries haha, but I definitely had a great final result!
I really hope you enjoy trying and eating this very simple recipe!

I personally added some fresh berries and vanilla ice cream with it. its just a perfect balance between the tartness of the fruits, the sweet of the ice cream, and richness of the pie!
