Improving chocolate tart

omri · 2014-10-07 00:13:47

Hi, I've done my first tart yesterday - it was a chocolate tart. Now in terms of tweaking the flavour it's rather easy, but I would like the filling be lighter. The filling I've done was: 750g of milk chocolate 260ml of double cream 120ml of booze Any ideas how to improve this rather heavy block of melted chocolate ? Thanks

Edit: You 'made' your first tart yesterday. 'Doing' your first tart would be a different thread entirely!

Adding eggs and baking it will make the filling lighter.

I use this Rachel Allen recipe.

You could try folding in beaten egg whites (stiff peak stage) to the mixture. Make sure you fold in rather than stir though to keep the mixture light.
