If you love chocolate, and I mean REALLY love chocolate this recipe is for you. I must confess that there are times when I feel out of place in this world. I like chocolate. I enjoy chocolate. BUT...[gulp]...my life would go one just fine without it. I know, I know, it's difficult for some of you, who obsess over chocolate, to believe that someone like me can and does exist. I promise, I wanted the first bite of my tart to send me into the ecstasy that others describe when indulging in chocolate, but it didn't. I knew when I read the recipe that I should back off the dark chocolate that was called for. I have not used bittersweet chocolate one time when I didn't think it made the recipe too chocolatey (yes, I said it!). I am definitely going to make this again, but with a semi-sweet chocolate instead.
So, what did I like about the recipe. I LOVED the biscotti and the texture it gave to the filling. I adored the chocolate crust and will definitely be using it again. It would be fantastic filled with coffee ice cream and topped with caramel.
I encourage to buy Baking with Julia. I'm already stretching myself beyond my comfort zone!

Too chocolately!? Lol. I think with ice cream it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI am right with you on the chocolate - I like it okay, but if you threw a lemon tart my way...
ReplyDeleteLove the coffee ice cream and caramel idea.
I'm with you on chocolate. I like it, but a little goes a long way for me...like in this tart, for example! The coffee ice cream and caramel would be amazing in this tart shell. Thanks for baking along with us this week.
