No – Bake Eggless Chocolate Tart Crust

The crust for the chocolate tart is a buttery and biscuit no bake tart. All that you need for this crust are two ingredients, crushed digestive biscuits and salted butter. To make the crust, crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor or by hand. I usually prefer doing it by hand because I like the texture of big chunks. But if they biscuit chunks are too big, the tart wont hold together. Once the biscuits are crushed, mix it with melted butter. You can use your hands to mix it well until all the crumbs are well coated. This mixture will be our crust! The melted butter is what will hold the crust together. So it is important to have patience at this step. If the melted butter doesn’t have enough time to set, the tart shell will not hold together! 

Tips for the Chocolate Tart

A tart is the most delicious, easy and versatile dish. It can be prepared in no time with very few ingredients. A tart shell can be used for sweet and savoury fillings both. From chocolate ganache, lemon curd, cream cheese or simply fresh fruit! So here are a few tips and tricks to make the perfect tart shell!

1. For the chocolate filling, cornflour is the ingredient that will make the filling smooth and silky and most importantly stable and thick! It is the thickening agent that we are using, but you can substitute it with custard powder. 
   
2. Make sure to spread the biscuit mixture evenly in the tart tin while you make the crust. Use your fingers to gently even it out. If the crust is not even, you will have a haphazard and uneven crust which can easily break. 
   
3. The crust is required to be set in the refrigerator for a minimum 30 minutes. This is the key to a perfectly strong tart shell.
   
4. I have used dark chocolate for the chocolate filling. But you can also use milk chocolate.
   
5. I have garnished the tart by dusting cocoa powder on top. You can also decorate the tart with freshly cut seasonal fruits, chocolate shavings or meringue.
