Soft Dark Chocolate Tart

in

Soft dark chocolate tart made in a special mold or the “Lindt soft tart”, a chocolate dessert perfect even for breakfast, creamy and extremely indulgent.
A few days ago while browsing Facebook, among the various sponsored posts, the algorithm showed me a dessert called “Lindt soft tart”. I won’t hide that my curiosity and constant search for delicious sweets led me to read the recipe, discovering that this dessert is going viral on the web and that the “Lindt soft tart” is nothing more than a chocolate dessert filled with a ganache made from the famous Lindt milk pralines.
The recipe really caught my eye, but not having the pralines at home I modified it a bit to my liking, completely personalizing it and adding a final touch of hazelnuts.
I won’t tell you the delight that came out in the end: the velvety, silky ganache, the crunchy contrast from the hazelnuts and the fantastic base — a texture halfway between brownies and a chocolate cake — seduced everyone!
Curious, right? Let’s go to the kitchen and prepare it together, because if the Lindt tart is good, my version is exceptional!! Before we get cooking, remember that if you want to stay updated on all my recipes you can follow my Facebook page (here) and my Instagram profile (here)!

  • Pour the batter into a special tart mold (non-stick is best). I used one similar to this: smart tart pan 8 2/3 in.

    Bake in a preheated convection oven at 356°F (180°C) for 20 minutes, but do the toothpick test before removing from the oven.

  • While the tart is baking, chop the hazelnuts and heat the cream until it just reaches a simmer.

    Combine the chocolate with the cream (you can also use cooking cream). Once you have a smooth, fluid mixture, add about 2 oz of freshly chopped hazelnut bits.

  • Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly and remove it from the mold.

    Let it cool a bit more or let it come to room temperature if you have the time, then pour the ganache over the tart.

    Serve or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
