Chocolate Ganache Tart

As previously featured on my best friend’s oh-so-delicious blog Baking Fairy, here is the Chocolate Ganache Tart. The recipe belongs to Martha Stewart. As always, her recipe is right on target. Crisp almond based tart dough topped with to-die-for velvety ganache.

When you come across perfect recipes like these, the only way to personalize it and make it your own is how you present it. So I crafted a stencil, placed it on top of the ganache and sprinkled the cropped parts with powdered sugar. Before you apply the coating of powdered sugar, you must wait for the ganache to set completely in the refrigerator (overnight if possible; if not at least 4 hours) otherwise your precious stencil may disappear in a matter of minutes.

You can either craft your own stencil or use one of Martha’s clip-art templates. Each link will take you to another link with its respective pdf document. Just print the document, cut around the clip-art to fit the size of your tart shell and crop the image.

    The picture with the dog looks great; the chocolate tart was one of the best I’ve eaten. Next time let’s try in in raspberry season with raspberries; I bet it’ll be the best.

    Hi, Cenk, Eliza again,

    I’m gonna take a chance and hope you’re online now – i want to make this tart with martha stewart’s recipe. i only have milka noisette chocolate in the fridge. and baby, it’s cold outside. i see no extra sugar is added to the filling, so could this work ? a ganache tart for milk chocolate lovers?
    Thanks,
    Eliza

      Eliza – You can prepare ganache with milk chocolate, no problem. I’d suggest adjusting the amount of cream (or chocolate) though. For 8 ounces of milk chocolate, you’d need 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp heavy cream, almost half of what you need for bittersweet chocolate.

    Thank you, Cenk! Just one more question – my tart pan is 11 inches in diameter. Should i adjust the amounts or can i just give the sides of the tart less height? Especially if i have that much less chocolate ganache?

      Eliza – I recommend adjusting the amounts. I’d double the crust recipe, just to be on the safe side.

    I did too eliza…doubled the crust and it turned out wonderfully biscuity like you mentioned. However, i did not get to make the white holiday decoration. But everyone enjoyed it so that was the important thing.

    Thanks cenk for this rich choco goodness….

    I just made it and it turned out wonderful, with a deer stencil. I was wondering though, what did you use to make the base so dark?

    Frederique – It looks much darker in the photo than it really is. I think it’s because of the flash.
