    When I say that this tart is the dreamiest chocolate truffle tart, it’s the truth. But… the most amazing quality about this tart is how simple this recipe is to make. And it’s a totally no bake affair. I’m a huge fan of the chocolate no bake affair as you can see by these no bake chocolate caramel cups!  How’s that for speedy and foolproof.

    Everyone you serve this tart to will think that you’ve spent years studying in a French pastry school. I did. So you don’t need to because I’ll tell you everything I know!

    There aren’t many tricks to this tart except that you need to use THE BEST quality chocolate that you can possibly find. It is obviously the star of the show. This tart is also only 4 simple ingredients.

    Chocolate. Butter. Cream. Corn syrup. Aaaaaannnd we’re done. Yep. That’s it! Oh. and a pastry tart shell. But you can buy one of them if you don’t have time to make one. I won’t tell if you don’t tell.

      Hello, are there any alternatives to corn syrup or glucose that can be used a replacement in this recipe as they’re pretty hard to find in the UK supermarket!

      Thanks!!

        Hey Jet. You can use golden syrup, but it will have a stronger flavour than glucose. You can find glucose in most ASDA and Sainsbury's stores in the baking isle. If you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend going that route. Let me know how it goes!
