Chocolate Tart

This tart is not only delicious, but really beautiful!

You can add any combination of berries to decorate the edge.

Here, I used strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Slicing open some of the strawberries, and leaving on their stems

gives additional color to the arrangement.

I added a few strawberry blossoms from my yard 

to give it a visual pop of "sweetness"!

This is a baked chocolate tart.  Nuts can be added to the top before baking, but 

I choose to leave this tart nut free, and once it was cooled, I added a layer

of chocolate ganache. 

Depending on the season and availability of fruits, you can 

decorate the top anyway you like.

Add white chocolate drizzles, or candied fruit pieces, or 

pomegranate aerials or just simply add chocolate shavings.

As Always, 

ENJOY!
