For the Biscoff Crust

Pulse cookies in a food processor or crush with a rolling pin until it resembles sand.

Tarts have become one of my favorite desserts to make. I find the process of creating a perfect tart shell and filling it with a delicious combination of seasonal fruits or creamy custards and ganaches incredibly satisfying.

The versatility of tarts allows me to experiment with different flavors, textures, and presentations, making each creation a unique and delightful experience.

Whether I'm using fresh berries in the summer, spiced apples in the fall, or citrus fruits in the winter, there's always a new and exciting tart recipe to explore.

For the past two years, this Dark Chocolate Tart with Biscoff Cookie Crust has become the star of every family gathering and celebratory occasion.

The best part? This recipe is surprisingly easy to whip up. No fancy pastry skills required, just a love for good chocolate and the warm, inviting flavors of Biscoff cookies. Plus, the filling uses coconut milk instead of heavy cream, making it a lighter (though no less delicious) alternative to traditional chocolate tarts.

Choosing Your Chocolate

The beauty of this tart lies in its simplicity, and the quality of your chocolate truly shines through. Here's a quick guide to selecting the perfect dark chocolate:

Cocoa Percentage: Aim for a chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content. This ensures a rich, intense chocolate flavor without being overly sweet.

Bittersweet vs. Dark: Bittersweet chocolate has a higher cocoa percentage (around 70% or more) and a more pronounced bitterness. Dark chocolate typically falls between 60-70% cocoa and offers a good balance of sweetness and bitterness. Consider your taste preference – for a deeper chocolate experience, go bittersweet; for a more approachable option, dark chocolate is the way to go.
