You guys clearly love chocolate desserts- all the popular recipes on the blog are chocolaty be it the back to basics chocolate cake or the fudgy brownies. Among the healthier recipes on the blog, so many of you have made the vegan gluten-free chocolate tart, which makes me so happy. Oddly enough, I had never shared a classic chocolate tart recipe here.

This chocolate tart with caramelized hazelnuts is indulgent, super chocolaty, rich and perfect for a special occasion. Oh and this chocolate tart is also Eggless!

Perfecting the base of this Baked Eggless Chocolate Tart

The first step in ensuring that you get this classic chocolate tart recipe right is by baking the appropriate base, the perfect tart. Lucky for you, I got you covered. There is an exclusive article on how to make the perfect tarts on the blog and it will solve all your queries and confusions if you are a tart virgin and also if you are not, haha! The tart shell of this chocolate tart with caramelized hazelnuts is flaky and buttery and I know you will absolutely love it!

Getting the Chocolate Ganache Right

Most of my ganache infused recipes use a dark chocolate ganache because I like the bittersweet taste of dark chocolate because I am not a huge chocolate fan. This recipe of Chocolate Ganache will help you better with the procedure of making it and the recipe is also given down below! By using dark chocolate, you will have a bittersweet chocolate tart- not too sweet and not too bitter, which also makes this dessert a light one. However, if you are an ardent chocolate lover, you can always use a little milk chocolate or use milk chocolate only to have a milk chocolate tart!
This chocolate ganache filling, which is incredibly easy to make is smooth and really the star of this eggless chocolate tart.

Why the Caramelised Hazelnuts

To take the classic eggless chocolate tart a level higher, I top it with caramelized hazelnuts which don’t only look very pretty but also adds a great texture. These beautiful hazelnuts elevate any classic dessert and you can actually also have them in your healthy green salad, haha. You can store these candied caramelized hazelnuts in an airtight container for three to five days without a care in the world!

If you end up experimenting with any of the recipes from the blog, kindly do not forget to post it on Instagram with the hashtag- #bakewithshivesh and also check out my Instagram for more recipes, tips, and travel posts!

    Love the easy recipes and variety of eggless recipes on your website. How many tarts can this recipe make if using a 9 inch tart pan? It would be helpful if each recipe suggested the quantity as well, so we can adjust accordingly if needed.
