If chocolate is your choice, inevitably, it is always mine, this is the easiest tart to make. The result is so special and incredibly decadent.

Pre bake your tart shell and set aside to cool. If you don’t have time to make one homemade there are many options in the refrigerator/freezer section of your grocery store. Trader Joes are my favorite when I am in the US. And when in London, Waitrose has a nice premade short crust.
