Delicious Soft Chocolate Tart

This soft chocolate tart recipe is rich with a chocolate ganache filling and a spongy and cakey “tart” shell. Garnished with fresh raspberries and blueberries, this chocolate tart makes a decadent dessert that every chocolate lover will enjoy!

To make the soft chocolate tart, you first make a cake batter with melted dark chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder until combined. Then, it gets poured into a flan/tart pan before being baked in the oven. After that, the cake gets filled with a milk chocolate ganache before being refrigerated until set. Finally, the tart gets garnished with fresh berries and mint for added freshness and color.

What is a Soft Chocolate Tart?

This soft chocolate tart includes a cake base and a filling of milk chocolate ganache. The chocolate cake gets baked in a flan/tart pan that is raised in the middle; the result is that when the cake is inverted from the pan, it will have a hollow portion in the center that you will be able to fill with the ganache.

Pro Tips

• Finely chop the chocolate so that it melts more quickly.
• You will know that the cake/tart shell is baked when an inserted skewer comes out clean.
• Grease the pan thoroughly before you add the batter.
• If you don’t have fresh raspberries or blueberries on hand, you could also garnish the tart with sliced strawberries, blackberries, or other sliced fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Other Chocolate in the Ganache?

Absolutely! If you would prefer not to use milk chocolate, you could replace it with semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate instead.

Can I Make the Chocolate Tart in a Different Pan?

Unfortunately, this chocolate tart can only be made in a flan/tart pan as that will ensure that you get the tart form that you can fill with the ganache.

Can I Garnish the Tart With Other Ingredients?

Yes, you can! If you would prefer to top it with something other than raspberries or blueberries, it would look beautiful with other fruit like sliced kiwi, pomegranate arils, sliced strawberries, cherries, and more.
