Zuricher Chocolate Tart

Last night I had an overwhelming desire to make something luxurious. Don't ask why, it just happened.

So I turned to a very sophisticated title that has been in my life for just under a year called Lindt's Chocolate Passion - Lindt's maitres chocolatiers share their recipes and techniques. My foodie cousin, Rebecca, sent me this book from America last Christmas. So gorgeous are the selection of recipes and photographs it is very difficult to look through it without craving chocolate. The scent of cocoa seems to waft from every page and literally compels one to go and reach for some chocolate, which is exactly what I did. A piece of Lindt dark was lurking in the cupboard for just such a craving.

So chose this yet untried recipe: Zuricher Chocolate Tart. The description - 'a sweet buttery-chocolate crust cradles the rich Lindt chcolate cream filling in this culinary tribute to Switzerland's largest city.' - is just another way of describing chocolate pie. I love pie.



(mine had a bit of an explosion) - oven temperature too hot
