Warm Chocolate Tart With Red Wine Sauce

This romantic tart comes together in no time at all with the use of a premade tart shell. Feel free to make your own of course, but I stick with the premade ones on account of being pastry-challenged. As far as a rich and indulgent dessert, you cannot go wrong with warm chocolate and red wine! Perfect for valentines day, or any day that you just want to treat yourself and the ones you love.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• Chocolate Tart

• 8  ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
• 1⁄2 cup  whole milk
• 1  large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 (9 1/2inch)  tart shells (prebaked)

• Red Wine Sauce

• 3  cups sugar
• 1  cup red wine

Directions

1. For the Tart:
2. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
3. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
4. Combine the cream and milk in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Allow to stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate,then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
5. Whisk the egg into the chocolate mixture. Pour the filling into the prebaked tart shell.
6. Bake the tart for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges of the filling are set; the center will still be soft. Cool the tart on a wire rack for 10 minutes and served warm.
7. For the Red Wine Sauce:
8. Put the sugar in a deep sauce pan. Stir constantly on medium high heat until sugar liquefies and turns mahogany brown. Add the red wine and whisk until sugar is dissolved and wine is incorporated. Chill. Serve over tart.
