Rich, decadent, delicious and healthy!
This choc chilli tart is the perfect choice to satisfy your chocolate cravings. For those of you who don’t like spice or are not so into the choc-chilli combo, the chilli flakes and cayenne can be omitted to create a more traditional chocolate ganache tart.
We love serving with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of cacao nibs for added crunch.
