A couple of days back when i made lemon curd tarts, i made a few extra tart shells so that i could make chocolate filled tarts for my son. Well.. my son was not the only one who liked it. All of us at home devoured the decadent chocolate ganache tarts. I have made a mental note to walk a few extra rounds to work off the extra calories. But trust me…these tarts are worth the effort.
