A rich and indulgent dessert combining the flavors of chocolate and peaches, perfect for any occasion.

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tart pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the greased tart pan, creating a crust. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. While the crust is baking, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  6. Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the slightly cooled melted chocolate, stirring constantly.
  7. Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the pre-baked crust.
  8. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peaches, ensuring it covers them completely.
  9. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
  11. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch.
  12. Slice and enjoy!

Tips for Chocolate Peach Tart

  • The crust should look dry and hold together when pressed; avoid packing it so firmly that it becomes dense.
  • The filling is ready when the center has a slight, gentle wobble and the edges look set; it will firm further as it cools.
  • Use ripe but still-firm peaches so the slices keep their shape instead of releasing excess juice.

Storage

Cover and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours; keep for 3–4 days. Serve chilled or let a slice sit briefly at room temperature before serving.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the filling is set?

The edges should look set while the center retains only a slight wobble. It will firm up as the tart cools.

Can I make the tart ahead?

Yes. Bake it a day ahead, cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. Add powdered sugar shortly before serving if using.

What pan works best?

A tart pan with a removable base makes neat slices easier. A similar-sized pie dish can work, though serving may be less tidy.
