Ooo, mixing the cream and the chocolate cream sounds awesome! I really loved this one, and you’re right, it was so easy and tastes very impressive.

I almost did the swirled version too but decided to wait til I could make an oreo crust. It looks delish! BTW the tart dough makes great shortbread cookies!

I know what you mean about being ready when cooking the filling… it went from soupy to thick in an instant (again).

Mmmm, all of your variations look wonderful. Just proves, it’s OK to play with your food after all.

I love all your different variations (you really can’t go wrong with this recipe) and your photos are gorgeous. I need to convince myself that I don’t need every single baking pan available.

Your tarts look gorgeous – what great pictures! Love your swirls. Yeah, I’ve picked up a nasty specialty pan habit since joining TWD – comes with the territory, I guess. But just look at those cute tartlettes — see, all worth it!

Chocolate is almost as addicting to photograph as it is to eat. Love the the swirl idea.

How fun! I REALLY like the idea of your last tart with the swirled in cream! Seeing everyone’s tarts makes me really want to try this one again, and use a less bitter chocolate.
GREAT job!

OH MY! I want the swirly pie! Your tarts look wonderful! And I agree, TWD’ing does play “merry hell” with the kitchen gadget/baking apparatus accumulation…but who can resist.:)

What a cool idea to swirl them together. This was so good. I, too, buy too many baking items and also did the mini-tart thing. So fun.

I love all of the different variations that you made. I had to laugh about your spatula comment — I am a spatula *freak* and I really believe that you can’t have too many of them. I love the kitchen gadgets too. You and I are the people that cookware stores dream of.
