A bit of history
Chocolate tart has deep roots in culinary tradition, being appreciated all over the world.

The chocolate tart a la Ruxy is a personal reinterpretation that brings a touch of warmth and joy to every slice.
Ingredients
For the tart:
- 5 large eggs
- 8 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 package of butter (200 g)
- 100 g of milk chocolate
- 100 g of dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 50 g of milk chocolate
- 50 g of butter
Ingredient details
I recommend using fresh, farm eggs for a better taste. Chocolate is also a key element – opt for quality chocolate with a higher cocoa content for an intense flavor. The butter should also be of good quality, as it will contribute to the fine texture of the tart.
Preparation steps
1. Prepare the tart mixture
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat, being careful not to burn it. Add the milk chocolate and dark chocolate cut into small pieces and stir until completely melted. Let the mixture cool slightly.
2. Beat the eggs
In a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer and beat the mixture on high speed until it becomes airy and doubles in volume. This will make the tart fluffy and easy to enjoy.
3. Incorporate the dry ingredients
Sift the flour over the egg mixture and gently fold with a spatula to avoid losing air in the mixture. Make sure the flour is well integrated.
4. Add the melted chocolate
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and gently mix until homogeneous. If you have quality chocolate, you will feel the intensified aroma.
5. Prepare the baking pan
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Take a round tart pan and grease it with butter or line the bottom with parchment paper. This will ensure that the tart does not stick and will come out easily after baking.
6. Bake the tart
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. It is important not to open the oven door in the first 20 minutes, as the tart needs a stable environment to rise properly.
7. Prepare the glaze
While the tart is baking, you can prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter and milk chocolate over low heat. Stir well until you obtain a glossy sauce.
8. Apply the glaze
Remove the tart from the oven and, while it is still warm, pour the chocolate glaze over it. This will create a delicious layer of chocolate that will perfectly complement the tart.
9. Cooling and serving
Let the tart cool completely, then cut it into slices and serve with a satisfied smile! You can add a scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a contrast of temperatures and textures.
Useful tips
- You can experiment with various types of chocolate to achieve different flavors. For example, you can add white chocolate or even mint-flavored chocolate.
- If you want a fluffier tart, you can replace some of the flour with cocoa, which will intensify the chocolate flavor.
- For an extra crunch, add some chopped nuts to the tart mixture before baking.
