Chocolate Sea Salt Tart
Just like a great movie classic, chocolate tart is absolutely fabulous. The creamy ganache topping is well balanced by its light and crispy short crust pastry shell. Add some sea salt and you almost feel like you are biting into salted caramel. The tart is best served chilled with a splash of double cream or vanilla ice cream. You can serve it for dessert or if you are just feeling a bit naughty.
