Double Chocolate Tart with Praline
Possibly my favourite dessert recipe of all time. (That is a big call, you have to admit!) I know we don’t have all Thermomix technique here, but you can do it...seriously. Go on...give it a go, it will be your dessert fave too! The butter crunch toffee is worthy of its own page I am thinking. It is completely decadent and delicious as a crunchy treat, but put it atop the creamy chocolate filling...well, need I say more? Don’t wait. Plan the date.
This recipe also appears in ‘Whats for Dessert?’ the ebook which is being updates as we speak! Watch this space, it is going to be a BIG book! Much bigger than the original. It may even rate getting printed! We will see. In the meantime, enjoy this one.
