The chocolate amaretti tart is an elegant and enveloping dessert, perfect to impress on any occasion. The combination of the intense flavor of dark chocolate and the unmistakable aroma of amaretti creates a rich and delicious cake that captivates at first bite.
The base has a dark and rustic color because it is prepared with brown sugar, amaretti and ground almonds: a detail that gives it not only a unique appearance but also an intense aroma and a bold taste.
The crunchy texture of the base (a little too jagged, sorry) holds a creamy and luscious filling that melts in your mouth, while the decoration with white cream and whole amaretti makes the tart refined and perfect for the table.
It’s a dessert that perfectly matches the winter season: rich, enveloping, and ideal to enjoy on cold days, maybe with a cup of coffee or hot tea.
Another advantage that matters to me? It’s easy to prepare and can be customized as you like: with a splash of amaretto liqueur for a more intense aroma, or with milk chocolate if you prefer a more delicate taste!
Tips
– If you want a stronger flavor, add a tablespoon of amaretto liqueur or rum to the filling.
– You can substitute the dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a milder version.
– For a quick decoration, besides whole amaretti, you can simply sprinkle with cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
– If you prefer, you can also make the tart without the liqueur: it will still be delicious and suitable for everyone.

Try this creamy and delicious tart with me!
First, I prepare the base by finely chopping the amaretti and almonds with a mixer.
Then I add flour, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
I incorporate the soft butter in pieces and knead until a sandy but compact mixture is obtained.
I line the 8-inch mold with parchment paper, then pour in the mixture and press it well into the bottom using the back of a spoon.
To proceed with blind baking, I cover the base with parchment paper, add dried legumes, then bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.Now I pour the chocolate cream into the already baked shell.
Put it back in the oven at 340°F for about 20 minutes, until the filling has set but remains slightly soft in the center.
Let it cool completely before removing the amaretti and chocolate tart from the mold.What do you think? We loved it; the chocolate cream melts in your mouth and is delicious!
From my home to yours: enjoy and happy cooking! Annalisa
Storage
The chocolate amaretti tart can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, well covered under a glass dome or in an airtight container. I suggest you take it out 15 minutes before serving, so the cream becomes soft again and releases all its creamy filling and aroma.
