Easy Chocolate Tart

Serves 8

Chocolate tarts always go down well and this one is no exception. The only difference is there is no baking involved. So for cake novices this is a perfect starting point. Decorate with a few raspberries or icing sugar and you will fool everyone into thinking you are an expert.

Luxurious soft amaretto flavoured creamy chocolate on a crunchy sweet base is a perfect finish to a dinner party whether it is for Christmas or during a hot summer. The luxurious flavours are in a true Christmas and New Years sprit of indulgence and celebration, while the soft cool creamy chocolate is a perfect dessert to cool down with on a hot summer evening.
