It doesn’t always have to be about chocolate eggs. Mix up the fun this year with a scrumptious Easter Chocolate Tart.

It’s easy to overindulge in chocolate at Easter, but you’ll enjoy the flavour without eating too many chocolate eggs if you make a chocolate tart recipe!

Katrina Neill, a chef for Sunny Queen Australia, has created a delicious chocolate tart in celebration of all things Easter.  This Easter Chocolate Tart is the perfect treat for those with a sweet tooth, especially those who love smooth, rich chocolate. Make it your focal point for the lunch or dinner spread.

“The secret to this Easter tart recipe is in the eggs, and what better way to celebrate Easter than with eggs, both chocolate and free range?   High-quality eggs and ingredients make all the difference when it comes to desserts,” Katrina said.
