Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large ripe peaches, sliced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

How to Make Peach Chocolate Tart

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and place it into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the cream is just about to simmer. Remove from heat.
3. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan and let it sit for about 2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Mix in the butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart shell, spreading it evenly.
5. Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the chocolate filling, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
6. Bake the tart for an additional 15-20 minutes, just until the chocolate is set but still soft. Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
7. Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
• Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing to maintain clean edges.
• For a more intense chocolate flavor, opt for a darker chocolate.
• If you prefer a sweeter tart, increase the sugar in the filling by a tablespoon.

Easy Variations

• Swap peaches for other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a layer of almond cream beneath the chocolate for added richness.
• Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche for a creamy contrast.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the chocolate and peaches.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce for a touch of sweetness.
