Tips & Notes
- Press the shortbread crust thin and even, especially where the sides meet the bottom. Thick corners stay underbaked under the fudgy filling.
- Take the fudgy chocolate tart out while the center still gives a little when pressed. Like a brownie, it firms up as it cools.
- Serve the fudgy chocolate tart at room temperature. Cold from the fridge the filling turns very firm; let chilled leftovers sit out for 30 minutes.
