| Chocolate Truffle Tart - approved by 14 year old sons everywhere |
A few concerns about the ingredients called for in this recipe. First, I can't eat bittersweet chocolate. It hurts my mouth and that's just wrong for chocolate to hurt this mouth - especially if I'm the one baking. Second, no biscotti in the house...anywhere. I think my 14 year old is to blame for that one. Third, no tartlett pans.
My substitutions worked really well: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the bittersweet; Cinnamon Ritz Crackers (really!) in place of the 4 biscotti which added a flavorful crunch, and instead of tartlet pans, I used my 10" springform pan since the recipe had an option to use a 10" tart pan.
The results speak for themselves. The tart is dense, chocolatey and totally over the top. Exactly how we like things around here.
