This chic chocolate tart is a dessert to impress, and it’s much easier than it looks.

This chic chocolate tart looks like it came from a fancy bakery, but don’t be intimidated by its elegant appearance! It’s actually super easy to make at home with just a few ingredients. It features three indulgent layers: a press-in shortbread crust (no rolling pin required), a truffle-like chocolate filling, and a glossy chocolate glaze. For best results, I recommend using a high-quality chocolate, like Ghirardelli or Guittard, because the flavor really shines through. You can make this tart up to 2 days in advance (just hold off on the glaze until the day you’re serving it). To make it, you’ll need a 9.5-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; these pans are affordable and easy to find at any kitchen shop or online. Give this chocolate tart a try — I promise it’s much easier than it looks!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and salt.

Beat on medium speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula and add the flour. adding the flour

Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, until the flour is incorporated. The mixture will look like wet, clumpy sand. Add the egg yolk. adding egg yolk to pate sucree dough

Using your hand, lightly knead the dough into a ball inside the bowl. pate sucree dough kneaded in bowl

Remove the dough from the bowl, press it into a 6-inch disk, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Lightly spray a 9.5-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Pinch off pieces of dough and press them against the sides of the pan to reach between ⅛ and ¼ inch thick. Using the heel of your hand, press the rest of the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. (It will look like a mess, and it may initially seem like you won’t have enough dough, but have faith, it will come together. If you run out of dough, you’ve made the crust too thick.)

pressing the crust in the tart pan

Be sure there are no seams in the dough and press it squarely along the corners where the bottom meets the sides of the pan to avoid extra-thick edges. evening out the crust

Use a paring knife to trim the top edge of the dough so it is even with the rim of the pan. Press any scraps into the bottom crust. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Place the chilled crust on a baking sheet (for easy handling) and bake until dry and very lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack while you prepare the filling.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the filling is mostly set but still a bit wobbly in the center. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. The tart can be refrigerated at this point for up to 2 days (but bring to room temperature before glazing).

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Glaze

On the day of serving, pour the cream and corn syrup into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until boiling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the chocolate and let stand for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

Carefully tilt the tart around to allow the glaze to run evenly to the edges.

Let stand until the glaze is set, about 1 hour, and leave out at room temperature until serving. Remove the outer ring from the tart pan. Insert a metal spatula between the crust and pan bottom to loosen the tart and slide it onto a serving platter (or just leave the bottom in place). Cut into wedges, wiping the knife clean in between slices, and serve plain or with sweetened whipped cream. Leftovers will keep nicely in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (although the glaze will lose its sheen).

  • This recipe is delicious and so simple and quick to make. I brought it to a friend’s birthday party and everyone loved it.

    I used a different recipe for the crust as I needed gluten free. That recipe suggested pressing the crust down immediately after baking since it puffs up a bit. I used the bottom and sides of 1/2 cup dry measuring cup which worked well and made the crust very compact. It held together very well and left plenty of space for the filling. This may be a good tip for the gluten free bakers out there.

  • Made this for Christmas dinner and everyone raved about it! Followed the directions exactly and it turned out picture perfect. Made the tart the evening before and refrigerated until morning. Made the topping the next day and it created a beautiful, shiny glaze. Set the tart on the table for guests to see as they arrived and it received oohs and ahhs! After a big meal, it was the perfect dessert – rich, but not too big or too sweet. The truffle-like filling was creamy, rich and thick. The shortbread crust paired well. Added a star next to this recipe and will definitely make again.

  • I did this for Christmas and it turned out great! I had it ready (except glaze) in the fridge two days in advance as I had many other preparations to deal with closer to the date and it kept well. The tart pan I had was about an inch larger so the crust felt too thin, next time I’ll make some more. Left overs kept well again room temperature for two more days! Also, for the glaze I used corn syrup instead and it worked fine although I got a little less shinny look than in your photos, I think – corn syrup is not available in my country.
    Thanks Jenn for your lovely instructions, your recipes are always clear to follow and they all taste amazing! From Seville, Spain 🙂

  • A wonderful dessert! I needed individual tarts, but kept to the recipe. I was able to make 6 5” tartlets; I only needed 1/2 recipe of the filling but all of the crust and glaze. The crust took about the same amount of time – started checking at about 14 minutes so it didn’t brown too much. Baked the filling for about 18 minutes but again kept checking frequently. Husband said it was “something special” which are his high praise words.

    • Hi Cathy, I haven’t made this with gluten-free flour, so I can’t say for sure. (Oftentimes, readers will comment that they’ve adapted my baked goods to be gluten-free, but I don’t see any comments mentioning that here, so you’d be the “guinea pig.”) I’d love to hear how it turns out if you try it!

  • Another triumph from Jenn! This ranks right up there with her luscious lemon bars (unbelievably delicious). Thanks Jenn for putting the metric version up so quickly. I have made chocolate tarts before, which were much heavier than this, with more of a dense ganache filling. This one was so much nicer, surprisingly light and meltingly delicious. It was easy to make, it just takes a bit of time, but is well worth the wait. The picture perfect glaze on the top gave it a very professional look. Thank you Jenn 🙂

  • My first ever attempt making a tart turned out well,the filling delicious and rich of which I had a little extra.I suspect my sides weren’t thick enough which made the the crust a little to shallow to accommodate all the filling,not a deal breaker though. The crust is also delicious.While I`ve never been a much of a baker(bbq guy) Jenn`s recipes are well written, easy to follow and apply.Keep up the good work and the recipes coming.

    -Is it necessary to use corn syrup or could sugar be used instead? Trying to avoid a trip to the grocery store for a product I rarely use.
    -I don’t have the type of tart pan you recommend. I assume using a glass pie dish would not cook correctly because it’s not metal?

    Thank you!

    • Hi Val, Instead of sugar, I’d use honey if you have that on hand. Just keep in mind that the topping won’t be quite as shiny. And it’s fine to use a glass pie dish — it may just take a few extra minutes in the oven as it will be a little thicker. I’d love to hear how it comes out!

    • Hi Val I found myself in the same situation as yours,ended up buying the corn syrup and Jenn`s pan recommendation on this site.The pan is of excellent quality and look forward to using it in the future for tarts/quiche.

      • This looks amazing and from the few comments so far it can be done by the non baker. My question: I have a tart pan a bit is closer to 11-12 in. Can recipe be adapted for this size pan or should I use a glass pie plate as I don’t really want to buy another tart pan. BTW, I plan to try this recipe as dessert along with the always requested classic lasagna at this months family birthdays dinner. Five stars in advance as your recipes never fail me. Thanks Jen

        • Hi Dawn, Thanks for your nice words about the recipes – so glad you like them! I think you could go either way here; if you’d like to use the tart pan, I’d increase the recipe by 1/3. If not, the pie plate should be fine. Hope everyone enjoys along with the lasagna! 😊

  • This looks amazing! Could this be made in a springform pan? That’s the only pan I have with a separate bottom.
