Do you love chocolate desserts? Of course you do, and this weekend we have the perfect item for you to make to show it off. One of the greatest natural products on the planet, honey is universally appreciated in its sweet form. We’ve made a lovely tea time snack by combining honey, chocolates, and nuts. Bake this honey and nut tart for your friends and family, and you will find yourself making it more often than you ever thought possible due to their rave reviews on the dish’s flavour and texture.
Honey and nut tart suggestions
Like ready-made puff pastry, shortcrust pastry is frequently great as is and may be purchased from your local grocery shop. Chocolate short pastry, if you can get your hands on it, would be a great addition to the tart. After putting the filling into the pie dish suitable for the oven, sprinkle on some more crushed nuts and then cover everything with chocolate. Top a large serving with whipped cream, ice cream, and more almonds or fruit like strawberries.
Our honey and nut tart is full of chocolate and honey flavour, and it’s sure to please. If you decide to get up at Midnight to get a slice from the fridge, no one will think worse of you.
