Chocolate Fig Tart

Chocolate Fig Tart

Chocolate Fig Tart

Chocolate Fig Tart made with dark chocolate, fresh figs and topped with sea salt. Chocolate tart, also known as chocolate cream pie with figs, is a dessert consisting of dark chocolate, cream, butter, and sugar, beaten together, poured into a crisp, sweetened pastry shell. It is considered a form of custard tart because it includes a creamy luscious filling and topped with fresh sweet figs.

Chocolate Fig Tart

It may be surprising, but chocolate cream pie, or chocolate tart was a common dessert during the colonial time. Chocolate arrived in America via the West Indies. The French word tarte can be translated to mean either pie or tart, as both are mainly the same except for a pie usually covering the filling in pastry, while flans and tarts leave it open. … It has been described as a “rustic free-form version of an open fruit tart”.

If you’ve never had figs and chocolate, well I highly advise you to just give it a try. In my opinion, it’s as good or maybe even better than chocolate with strawberries or apple and I’m pretty sure everyone will love this combo!
