Oh boy, have I got a recipe for all you chocolate lovers out there! This chocolate tart is so phenomenally easy to make, and doesn’t involve any baking at all (ok, well 10 minutes for the crust, but that’s it!) You can make this dessert a day in advance, and it will only take you about 20 minutes from beginning to end. To give it a little twist I added orange zest, but I think this dessert would be lovely with lemon or lime as well. Serve this with a dollop of whipped cream and lots of spoons, I promise you won’t have any leftovers!
