No-bake eggless chocolate tart CRUST
This No-bake eggless chocolate tart uses a very easy tart shell recipe- only crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. You can crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor. I usually do not grind them too fine as I like the texture of the bigger biscuit chunks. But make sure the chunks aren’t too big because the tart shell won’t hold shape otherwise. Sandy texture is perfect. Once you have crushed your digestive biscuits, all you have to do is add the melted butter. It is very important to make sure all the crushed biscuit crumbs are coated with melted butter. The melted butter that will hold the tart shell together. It is also extremely important to let the tart shell chill in the fridge until it is completely set. The melted butter needs to set in the fridge for the tart to hold shape. Don’t lose patience there!
Tips to nail the No-bake eggless chocolate tart
A tart is the easiest, most delicious and versatile dish that one can prepare in no time. It goes well with both sweet and savoury fillings. Whether it is custards, lemon curd, or cream cheese filling, you just need to put on your thinking caps and go where your creativity takes you! So many you ask me- how to make perfect tarts? Here is some insight:
- Allow the No-bake eggless chocolate tart base to set in the fridge. Like previously mentioned, the butter needs to become stable and hold the crust together, This is of essence.
- The cornflour is what will make your silky chocolate filling thick and stable. Please do not skip it. It can also be substituted with custard powder
- I used 55% dark chocolate to make this tart. You can use an even darker chocolate or a lighter one- upto you. This percentage of dark chocolate enables you to have a balanced taste.
- The meringue I used to decorate the tart has egg whites in it. You can avoid it if you want to keep the tart eggless.
- Spread the biscuit mixture nicely while make the crust. If you don’t do this, you will end up with a rather haphazard crust for this No-bake eggless chocolate tart. You don’t want this. Trust me.
