Tuesdays with Dorie – Chocolate Cream Tart

Okay, you guys. The joke is very funny. I get it.
It’s 90 degrees here, and you’re having me slave over a hot stove in our poorly-ventilated apartment, air conditioner on the fritz, and for what?
For a chocolatey dessert that won’t quench a single quenchable thing.
Not a quenchable thing.
Don’t get me wrong. This dessert is nothing short of amazing, and it’s served cold so there’s that. But where’s the ice cream? The puddings? The whatever-doesn’t-make-me-crank-the-ovens-to-400-degreeses? Get with the program, people.
I christened my brand new food processor, and I like it a lot better than my old one. Here’s hoping we don’t have any chocolate pudding debacles with this one.
Rachel is engaged. To me. If anybody wants to send presents – preferably cookies and/or cakes – please send them to:

Congratulations!! 90 degrees sounds great right now. It is cold and damp here and the chocolate tart was perfect for a cold day.
