Chocolate tart
Description
The bake comes together simply and quickly. For a long time I was quite sceptical about all kinds of foreign dishes and their names, thinking them overly gourmet, unnecessarily complicated, and unsuitable for our Slavic stomachs. Later I got over that hang-up, started cooking various Western dishes—and I’m very glad I did. Chocolate tart is one of my favourite non-Russian dishes. Tarts like this are very popular in cafés across Europe. As you can see from the recipe (and from the ingredients), chocolate tart is very easy to make, so I recommend grabbing this recipe and treating yourself to delicious homemade baking. Good luck with your cooking, friends! :) You can serve it with tea or coffee.

Step 3
Now we do it like this. Take a baking pan and lightly grease it with butter. Pinch off small balls from the dough and press them to cover the entire bottom of the baking pan. Also shape the sides—about 3 cm high. Put the baking pan with the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Put cream, chocolate broken into pieces, and a little butter into a small saucepan. Place over low heat and melt.
