Description
This gingerbread chocolate tart features a spiced cookie-style crust and rich chocolate filling, creating a cozy dessert perfect for holidays or special gatherings.
Ingredients
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp ground ginger
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ground ginger until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool the tart at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
For cleaner slices, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry before cutting.
This tart tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
