The Tuesday's with Dorie crowd is on it's last leg of a chocolate triple header this week. Kim of Scrumptious Photography chose the Chocolate Cream Tart for us to enjoy.
There was talk on the TWD site that this dessert might be too much of a good thing, but I decided to make it exactly as written anyway.
I'm glad I did. I thought the chocolate tart shell and the chocolate cream filling were both very good. The tart shell was so flaky and tender, it was a perfect counterpoint to the luscious smooth filling. Not that I could eat a huge piece, but it wasn't really an option with my two 4-inch tarts.
Thanks, Kim, my family (and neighbors) really enjoyed the tart!
For the recipe, please check out of Dorie Greenspan's book "Baking, From my Home to Yours" or check out Kim's blog. OK, see you next week!
P.S. I forgot to mention that I used half bittersweet and half semi-sweet chocolate. I continue to resist being turned into a dark chocolate lover :)

I wound up making the same 4" tarts. Still, they were rich enough that H and I wound up splitting one between us for dessert. Yummy though! I don't think you can ever have too much chocolate! :)
I made a 4" tart too! But meanie that I am, I made the kids split it. I don't think you could ever have too much chocolate!
oh these look rich and creamy. surely they ll fix a chocolate craving :)
I love you little tart! It is perfect.
Mmm, I'm with you: there's no such thing as too much chocolate; leave the recipe as is :) Looks delicious!! Makes me want to run into the kitchen to make some right now!
Wow - those look fantastic! I also did the 4" tarts - loved the "personal" tart size! Weren't they the best chocolate pies? :) Nicely done!
I guess we all went mini on this one... I made 4" tarts too! I haven't tasted the cream with the crust but thought the cream was divine!
I'm sad mine is all gone! LOL Yours looks fabulous!!
I absolutely was in love with this tart too! So creamy and delish. Even better after a day in the fridge MMMMMMMMM
I love that you made mini's out of it.
I added some hazelnut coffee creamer to mine.
Divine.
It seems like mini was the way to go to end the chocolate madness around TWD. Your tarts look beautiful and I love the way that you dolloped the cream in the middle so that the chocolate could show through.
Hummmm... this looks almost like deja-vu! LOL (I've made tartlets too, and posted a very, very similar shot! lol)
Perhaps, great minds do think alike after all!!! LOL
Lovely, Jacque... simply lovely.
on a toutes l'impression qu'on en mange moins quand on fait des tartelettes...c'est pas vrai, on en mange deux fois plus :)
c'est superbement réussi !
Wow, you amaze me! How do you get it all done?
They look great, I have read a lot of good things about this one.
hurrah! no more chocolate for me. think i'm suffering from a minor sore throat. the tart looks lovely! i did mine in 4" as well.
Your tartlets look fabulous! Great job!
It looks heavenly! I loved this too!

Semisweet, bittersweet, 72%, its all good. There's no such thing as too much chocolate. Nice job!
too much chocolate? how dare they suggest such a thing! great tartlets, jacque. i enjoy the dollop of cream on top. :)
I made 4 inch tarts, too. Just 2 of them, mainly for damage control! I loved everything about this tart. Just yummy!
Your tarts look fantastic...I am glad everyone like them!
I also made the minis, just 3, and put the rest of the crust mix in the freezer. And they were good. Rich! Velvetty!! Perfect!! And yours looks lovely.
Your tart looks wonderful! I'm glad you liked it.
Your mini tarts look great! :) So glad you all liked the tart!
Gorgeous...particularly charming and elegant...I would say you have this recipe down cold! Great job, and I love the minis.
I LOVE your minis! Too much of a good thing? Sign me up for that!
Your tarts look great! I love my little 4 inch pans but I didn't use them this week. Glad the tart was a hit!
I love chocolate. Your chocolate cream tart looks so yummy. I am going to bake this pretty soon
