I made this last night and it was brilliant! The chocolate ganache especially was so good. One question – the ganache stuck to the knife as I cut pieces so it wasn’t a very clean cut. The tart set in the fridge overnight and was at room temperature for 20-30 mins beforehand. Any ideas for a cleaner cut?

Interested in making this but is there a recipe to make the mint part as a white chocolate ganahe insted of icing perhaps?

Made this at the weekend for our Halloween party and it went down a storm with adults and kids alike. So simple but delicious. I love how you can tweak these tarts for varying flavours or colours, etc but keep the basic recipe the same.
Only way I differed from the recipe was I felt my base was too thin so I used an additional half pack of Oreo’s but that could just be my personal preference.
Will try the gingerbread tart at Christmas – thanks Jane! X

I sprayed the tin with low cal spray and when I was ready to release it from the tin I just ran a hot cloth around the edges and base and it came out really smoothly.

In reply to Mia. How could I make the chocolate ganache part vegan? Would it work to do a straight swap for dairy free alternatives plus all dark chocolate?

Hi this might be a silly question but do I need to grease the tart tin or put any parchment paper in? I’ve bought the one you said you use

In reply to Leah. Hiya! I never use supermarket colours - always cake decorating colours!

Hi,
Which green food colouring did you use? Did you use a supermarket green, or those sugar flare ones? And the measurement you gave was 0.5-1… was that tsp or tbsp?
Thank you

We made this at the weekend… absolutely delish!!! But we made far too much, do you think it would freeze?
