Hi Val,
Firstly congratulations to your daughter’s upcoming wedding. WOW to you for taking up the role of being the wedding cake baker. You’ve chosen the perfect thing to make for the wedding, this tart would definitely impress. I did find that the tart was quite rich, so I think it would be perfect if you add a sponge layer to separate the glacage and mousse. However, I think it may be a little more visually appealing if you had a thin layer of mousse, then a thinnish sponge layer, then another thin layer of mousse, then topped with the glacage. That way, I think the layers would look more even. Just a thought. Either way, I think what ever you create would be beautiful. Good Luck.

Hi there
I live in South Africa in a small town and rely a lot on television and the internet for ideas. The very first Masterchef Australia finished in our country only yesterday 16 November 2010. I was in awe with the final desert. As my daughter is getting married on 04 Dec 2010 and I am making the wedding cake myself, I am now testing this Aria chocolate tart recipe with a twist of my own. I am making mini individual cakes to serve as a desert. I am still busy and in the experimental stage, but plan to do the bottom biscuit layer, topped with a some of the tart filling with a thin layer of chocolate mousse on top, then a thin slice of chocolate sponge and then the chocolate glacage. Do you think this will work or will it be too rich?? We are serving strawberries, rasberries and ice cream with it. I have just discovered your website and I am hooked on it as I am hooked on Masterchef Australia. Thank you and kind regards.

Beautiful, you cold have taken the title yourself! Masterchef has only just finished in NZ this weekend and I was happy Julie won and not Poh. I was looking for the recipe as I would like to show a class of mine how to make it. .-= Alli´s last blog ..Savoury Canapes – Tomato Tart Tatin & Asparagus Rolls =-.

[...] addiction, I dabbled in a couple of side projects, the Adriano Zumbo Mousse Cake, and the Aria Chocolate tart. I had soo much fun tackling those two recipes that I decided to join the Daring Baker’s [...]

That lone shot of the chocolate tart looks so sexy!

Excellent effort for this dish. I’m sure it would have been a contender had you been on Masterchef

@ Mr. Taste- You should definitely give it ago. I think it would taste pretty good with normal milk chocolate as well.

@ Marthe- hahaha yeah I think there is such thing as chocolate heaven, it exists in making and eating this tart.

@ Sandra- Thanks Sandra, I’m far from being a masterchef, but thanks for the vote of confidence =D

@ Amrita- awww thanks Amrita. I had the tart the next day, it tasted just as good.

@ Trissa- LOL, I dunno Trissa, it’s hard to predict the way a bloke thinks.

@ Ja- Thanks Ja, that’s a huge compliment. I would love to attend pastry school one day, to learn all the basics and gain expertise in all the difficult things.

@ Ellie- Hahaha Thanks Ellie. Btw who are you calling a legend, you’re the one with great recipes and cook book quality photos. Hmm not sure what’s next, might attempt another masterchef classic.

@ Arwen- After at least a dozen failed attempts, you’d think I’d quit by now. Thankfully recently I’ve found a couple of fool proof macaron recipes. My last 3 attempts were succesful, go me! =D\

@ IronChefShellie- Thanks Shellie. Poh and Julie did an amazing job, they would’ve whipped my butt tooo easily.

@ Memoria- Thanks heaps =D You should give it a go. A couple of family members hate chocolate (weirdos), but i think I’ve converted them with this tart.

Awesome job making such a complex dessert! I'm so pleased to hear of a macaroon recipe that worked first time, with little effort. It's a chocoholic's delight. .-= Arwen from Hoglet K´s last blog ..Breakfast Jaffle-pie =-.

Linda, if you can’t lure your boyfriend away from FIFA with your beautiful creation then nothing (not even chocolate canneles) will do the trick!
Eagerly awaiting your next masterpiece…
