Rich Chocolate Tart

I fancied something chocolaty and rich and I had steered clear of chocolate tarts as I dont like using gluten free pastry! (If anyone has any tips then please share!) So I scoured the internet. I never search for gluten free recipes as I believe that I can change a normal recipe and substitute for gluten free products.

I found a base made of crushed biscuits and butter and another recipe for rich chocolate tart. So I combined the 2. Its similar to a cheesecake base really. The two go together great and you can even add pecan nuts or orange rinde to the base for a special touch.

Rich Chocolate Tart
1 Packet of gluten free biscuits crushed
50g butter melted
400ml Double Cream
400g Dark Chocolate
100g Caster sugar
few drops vanilla extract
50g Butter


Crush the biscuits and add 50g melted butter to them. Press them into the base of a 21" tart tin and place in the fridge to set.

Meanwhile, for the filling, bring the cream, vanilla extract and sugar slowly to the boil in a pan.

Break the chocolate and butter into pieces and place into a large bowl. Pour over the cream mixture and whisk slowly until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the tart case and leave to cool. Place in the fridge to set for two hours.
