Mmmmm.... chocolate! You just can't go wrong with chocolate. The selection for this week appealed to the chocolate lover in me and I was very happy with it!
Dorie says that this tarts next of kin is a chocolate cream pie, but this is a fancier version. It starts with a chocolate shortbread crust that isn't too sweet and that I actually really enjoyed. It is then topped with DELICIOUS chocolate pastry cream that was out of this world. I licked every last bit of it out of the bowl. There was no way I was going to waste any of it! The tart finally gets a topping of fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Oh my yum!
I thought this tart was incredibly delicious, although it was also incredibly rich. It didn't stop our dinner group on Sunday from practically finishing it off, though!
Thanks so much to Kim of Scrumptious Photography for choosing this amazing dessert! Check out her blog for the recipe and, as always, check out the blogroll to see what these amazing bakers created!

Looks great. You know, I totally missed the part about chocolate shavings for decoration. Just never even read it. Silly of me - next time I HAVE to remember to read the ENTIRE recipe! :)
Cristine,
This looks so good and your review makes me very excited to make it. (I know, I'm a slacker--I'd better get working!) I was unsure if I wanted to make the crust chocolate, but you've convinced me to do it!
Chocolate tarts, chocolate tarts...are you guys TRYING to get me in the kitchen? LOL
I've been searching for the perfect chocolate cream pie recipe for a long time now. With your glowing remarks, I think I've found it.
Your tart is beautiful and looks YUMMERS!
I am positive this would be delicious!! I have to stop TWD for now because the calories are just too much for me...
gosh, that looks oh-so-creamy and dense and delicious! very beautiful pie!
This was good. You always bring such yummy things to dinner. I love it!!!!
It looks absolutely delicious! I loved the chocolate coconut version but your pictures have me wanting to try the regular version, too. The pictures of the slices are making my mouth water.
I am seeing these pop up all over blogland! Yours looks delish!!!
I am ashamed to admit that I scraped every last bit of cream from the bowl as well. It would have been criminal to waste any!
rich.. but oh so terribly good! hehe. I'm glad everyone loved it!
I am glad that you loved this one as much as I did! I'll bet your dinner group was thrilled with you!
Yum your chocolate tart looks amazing. I was sad I didn't get a picture of mine. I had chocolate curls on top that I was rather proud of! Im glad you liked this recipe.

Nothing like a dinner group to help with the demolition of a great dessert. Yours looks very beautiful...I am certain they were happy to help out!
I'm all about chocolate so this tart is calling to me!

Yours looks wonderful. I don't blame your dinner group for nearly finishing it, this was definitely a smart one to share.
Cristine, your tart looks amazing! This is my kind of dessert. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Wish I could've been with your group to help you polish off the tart :) Love your blog, and I can't wait to keep reading more!
Yeah, my bowl was pretty cleaned out too! Glad that your tart made such a big hit with the group!

Oh this looks divine!!! I have wanted to get into TWD but memebership is closed for the moment. Oh well I will just live vicariously through other people's posts:)
I love that light dusting of chocolate (cocoa?) on the top! Wasn't this amazing? I wish I had some now!
This was definitely a "no-leftovers" dessert.
Your tart looks perfect! Love the way you decorated it. I'm glad it was well received!
So glad you super group got to enjoy it as well. It looks so delicious. Wish I still had some around.
