It’s easier to make than you might think. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Before you get lost in the chocolatey goodness, let’s grab our ingredients!

- 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar

- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

- 1 large egg yolk

- 2 tbsp cold water (only if needed)

- 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (aim for 60-70% cocoa for that rich flavor)

- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream

- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but totally worth it!)

- Fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or kiwi—whatever fruits make you smile

- Fresh mint (optional, but it looks gorgeous and adds freshness)

Step 1: Let’s Start with the Crust

First things first, preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). Now, grab your food processor and toss in the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Next, add the cold cubed butter and pulse until it looks like coarse crumbs.

Don’t stress if it’s a little chunky—this is the good stuff. Add in your egg yolk and pulse again. If the dough feels a bit dry, just add a splash of cold water—one tablespoon at a time—until it comes together.

Press the dough into your tart pan (9 inches is ideal) and make sure it’s even. Don’t forget to pierce the bottom with a fork. Chill that bad boy in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. Then, pop it into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it’s a lovely golden color. Let it cool completely before moving on.

Step 2: Chocolate Heaven

While your crust is cooling, we’ll focus on the chocolate filling. Break up your dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer—don’t let it boil, though! Once it’s hot, pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to melt.

Now, stir slowly until it’s smooth and glossy. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract for that silky finish. Let the filling cool just a bit before pouring it into the tart shell.

Step 3: Assemble Your Tart

Now that your chocolate is perfectly smooth and your crust is ready, pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Chill the tart in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let the chocolate set. Trust me, the wait is so worth it. You’ll want that filling to firm up just right!

Step 4: Fruit Galore!

Here’s where you can really let your creativity shine! Slice up your fresh fruit—strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries—whatever you love. You can lay it out in a perfect pattern, or just scatter it casually (rustic is in!). Add a few mint leaves for that extra touch of elegance if you’re feeling fancy. Not only does the mint look gorgeous, but it also gives a refreshing burst of flavor!

Step 5: Slice, Serve, and Savor

Finally, slice that tart, grab a fork, and take a moment to appreciate the masterpiece you just created. You’ve got that crisp, buttery crust, smooth chocolate filling, and bright, fresh fruit all in one bite. It’s the ultimate balance of indulgence and freshness, and it’s sure to impress anyone lucky enough to try it.
