Shortcrust pastry with chocolate filling and gingerbread spice – notes
Chocolate and gingerbread spice really like each other and go well together.
And the best proof of this is the chocolate gingerbread tart.
You can prepare one large tart, or like me, make several smaller tartlets that will look beautiful on the festive table :D
We start preparations by making the chocolate shortcrust pastry, which we then chill in the fridge.
Therefore, you can prepare the dough in advance and start baking even the next day.
I’ll add that the recipe is so versatile that besides a tart base, you can also make shortbread cookies from it :D
The chilled dough should be rolled out thinly – I helped myself with a long Joseph Joseph rolling pin.
The rolling pin has special attachments that make it easier to roll out the dough to the correct thickness, which greatly simplifies the work :)
Line the tart pan with the dough, prick it with a fork, and bake in the oven.

The cream sets nicely and can also be used to decorate the top of the tart.
If you like such flavor combinations, you must also try the gingerbread Dutch baby – which is a baked pancake.
