RED FRUIT TART WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE i made this tart for the first time, and I was really pleased with it. A casket of short pastry that collects a delicious and creamy layer of chocolate enriched by a cascade of red fruits … really space!
Today I found some beautiful red fruits at the supermarket, in this period under the Christmas holidays they are wonderful, here in Italy they set up a department with all particular fruits and in the middle there are always berries.
They are special and when you use them to fill or decorate a dessert, it turns into a sumptuous looking dessert that is perfect to serve on the table as a closure to the meal.
Making this mouthwatering itty bitty tart is really simple you just need some dark chocolate, fresh cream and the right ingredients to make the shortbread.
Which can be made with butter or oil according to your taste, the end result does not change.
To give an extra touch to the tart, you can use the remaining shortcrust pastry to make small decorations such as stars or leaves and place them around and in the middle of the red fruits, in this way the tart really becomes a work of art.
