Ricotta and Chocolate Tart (with photo)

It is definitely in our Top 10 List !!

The tart base with the original recipe resulted a bit hard so when I made it 2nd time I tried it with the tart recipe which I previously gave in my Nutella Tart post and it satisfied me better

I hope you like it...

Deeau - I have made this recipe a heap of times it has become one of my "go to " dinner party recipe, stunning served with double cream! You can cut thinnish slices so it can serve a lot of people.
