Tips And Techniques For Mini Chocolate Tart

Does this contain eggs? No, it does not contain eggs! Instead, it's thickened with cornstarch.

What crust to use? I made a homemade graham cracker crust, but you can use a store-bought if that is easier.

How long to chill pudding? Chill the pudding in the fridge for at least 6 hours, but overnight is even better. Make sure the pudding is fully set.

Use unsalted butter- Because this prevents the pudding from becoming too salty.

Remove from heat as soon as the pudding is thickened- This prevents the filling from becoming too gelatinous keeping it creamy and smooth.

Whisk continuously-This ensures there are no lumps and mixture remains smooth.

Why is my tart filling not setting? There is not enough cornstarch in the recipe, which helps to thicken the filling or the mixture wasn't cooked long enough.

Storage Of Tart

Refrigerate- In a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Freeze-This cannot be frozen because it does not thaw well and the filling can separate. However, a ganache tart can be frozen for up to 1 month in tightly sealed freezer bags.
