Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Tart

If you want to awe your dinner guests... well, perhaps apart from almost burning off their eyebrows, lashes and 'taches in a freak accident involving paper napkins and candles.... serve them this dead-easy-to-make chocolate tart.

I've had nothing but positive feedback on it.... and I'm sure it has nothing to do with my guests' fear of my pyromaniac potential....


What you need:
1 packet of plain biscuits - HobNobs, Digestives, Graham crackers (depending on your geographical location)

80 g butter, melted

1 large bar (200 g) of good quality chocolate (I prefer dark, but you can use milk, nut, white or whatever takes your fancy)

1 packet of marshmallows

150 mL (2/3 cup) milk

250 mL (1 cup) whipping cream



What you do:
Prepare a biscuit base by crushing the biscuits (either in a food processor or by hand by placing biscuits in a clean bag on top of a board and crushing with a rolling pin) and mixing with the melted butter.

Press into a 25 cm pie tin.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 180C (160 with fan)/ 374F/ Gas mark 5 until golden brown.

Chill slightly in the refrigerator.


Place the marshmallows, broken chocolate and milk in a large glass mixing bowl. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes, stirring well every 60 seconds, until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted.

Cool slightly.

Whip cream until it forms stiff peaks.

Gradually fold the cream into the chocolate-mallow mix, and pour onto the biscuit base.

Place in the refrigerator to set; decorate with chocolate curls and serve.  Can be made at least a day in advance.

YUMMY!
