Cheats Chocolate Tart
A delicious chocolate tart made with four key ingredients.
Difficulty Level: easy
Ingredients
- 200g of marshmallows
- 125g butter (plus 1 tsp for greasing the tin)
- 300g chocolate (i used a bar of cooking chocolate – its cheaper, but if not i’d recommend bournville)
- 2 tbs milk
- a big pinch of salt
- 200g biscuits
- (you can use digestives or gingerbread, or gluten-free biscuits)
Instructions
Pre-grease your cake tin or line it with cling film
using a heavy implement bash up the biscuits of choice
when they are crumbs, use your fingers to combine them with 75g of the butter
make sure the butter is fully mixed into the biscuits
press the mixture into the bottom of your tin and smooth over with a spoon
put a saucepan on a medium/low heat and add remaining 50g of butter, milk, the marshmallows and salt
after a couple of minutes, when the marshmallows start to melt, add the broken up chocolate
make sure not to heat the mixture too quickly
stir as it melts to get a smooth texture
if the mixture looks too thick to pour into the base add an extra 1-2 tbs of water, whilst the chocolate mixture is on the heat to thin it a little. Make sure not to add too much water or the tart will take longer to set.
pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit base
put the torte into the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving…
a top tip: wash up your pan straight after using it. Marshmallows tend to take on the nature of cement when left too long after heating.
