Double Chocolate Tart with Blackberries: Recipe for Chocolate Lovers. Extremely flavorful, indulgent and intensely chocolaty dessert for special occasions.
I made this delicious double chocolate tart with blackberries for my husband's 28th birthday. He is a big chocolate lover, so I knew what to make for him. Double chocolate tart seemed the best solution. I usually make a chocolate tart for special occasions, and it's always really delicious, but this time I decided to make a double chocolate tart by just scaling up my usual recipe. I made it the evening before, and it was standing in the fridge, so tempting and so delicious. 
I made a little experiment with the whipped cream, as I wanted it to last for at least 2 days in the fridge. It worked even better than I expected: the whipped cream was in a perfect shape after 2 days and 3 nights in the fridge. The secret trick is super easy: you have to make it as thick as possible by whipping it for 8 minutes with beaters or an immersion blender. I've done some research about the topic, just to find out that the best way to make whipped cream last longer is by coincidence the easiest. That's what I was going for. The reason I was so concerned about the cream was that I recently purchased 
As for the crust, I made it quite thin to give more attention to the chocolate which is the star here. It's important to use good quality chocolate, as it's the main ingredient in this tart. If you like the rich taste, go for the dark chocolate with high cocoa content. For a gentle creamy taste take milk chocolate. You can also combine them. For the double chocolate tart you will need 400 grams (14 oz) of chocolate. It seems like a lot but it's called double chocolate tart, remember? You can scale the recipe down if you want to make a thinner tart. Just ask me how to do it in the comments below. But for those who can't resist indulgent, luscious, rich and intensely chocolaty desserts, stay with the double chocolate. I guarantee that you won't regret it. My husband, who is a big connoisseur of chocolate cakes, said that it was the best one he had ever eaten so far and gave it 10 points out of 10. Success! It was just a coincidence but my husband dressed up in chocolate tart colors 🙂
