Well, this chocoholic loves tart, so this one was GREAT! This was one of two desserts I made, one for me & one for neighbors, but then I decided to do it up half & half! Almost wish I'd kept this one right here at home! Anyway, this tart was OUTSTANDING & the combo of lemon & chocolate was . . . Well, this recipe is definitely a KEEPER! Thanks for sharing it!

This is so good. I may need divine intervention to stay out of the leftovers!! It is tart but yummy tart. It is magical how the lemon custard ends up in the middle of the chocolate. I used Oreo crumbs and the crust was a bit chewy which was nice. My husband thought it was too tart but I overrule and give it a healthy 5 stars. Thanks for sharing your excellent recipe.
