Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Tart
This Dark Chocolate Sea Salt tart is a dark chocolate lover’s dream! It’s silky, rich and fudgy, with an intense sea salt dark chocolate filling and a dark chocolate ganache on top. Plus, it doesn’t need to be baked!
I used this recipe of Sugared Cranberries, blueberries, blackberries and pomegranate to decorate it
Is Sea Salt good with Chocolate?
Yes, yes and yes! Sea salt helps offsetting the bitterness of the dark chocolate, and also helps bring a depth of flavor to it. It balances the flavors and enhances them!
The flavor contrast of this flavor pairing will not bore you, and will have you coming for doubles!
When mixtures separates when making this Dark Chocolate Sea Salt tart filling
If your mixture separates and becomes oily (it happened to me the first time!), let it cool and then mix it with a food processor. Pour a bit of whipping cream while processor is still running, until mixture looks homogeneous again.
Should I keep Chocolate Tart in fridge?
Yes, this tart should be kept covered and refrigerated. It will last 4 to 5 days if stored properly.
