Seriously Amazing Chocolate Tart
I wanted to share this chocolate tart recipe because it really is seriously amazing. It's a rich, deeply, densely chocolatey but not super sweet, smooth, creamy, just firm enough to hold itself together chocolate tart of the most divine sort.

- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1
Grind your crackers as finely as possible.

Mix together sugar, ground crackers and 5 tbsp of melted butter. Add the rest of the butter in tbsp increments until the mixture is wet enough to stick together easily when pressed.

Bake 10 mins. Let crust cool completely.

Chop up chocolate roughly.

Heat cream in small pot until just boiled, then pour over the chocolate. Let stand for 5 mins, then stir until smooth.
- 7
Whisk eggs, vanilla and salt in another bowl, then stir into the chocolate all at once.
- 8
Pour into cooled crust, being sure not to over fill the crust as you still must get it into the oven without spilling.

Bake approx 20 mins, or until the chocolate center sets 3 inch from the edge, the center will quiver when you shake the tart pan.
