Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your tart. Choose a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the caramel: Overcooked caramel will be too thick and hard. Cook the caramel until it is a light amber color and has a slightly smoky smell.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before serving: This will help the caramel to set and the tart to hold its shape.
- Serve the tart with fresh whipped cream or ice cream: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the tart and add a creamy richness.
