Make a classic, decadent Chocolate Chess Tart for those you love! This dense, fudge-like tart is easy to make and can be made as a pie, too!
Preheat oven to 325℉.
Press pie dough (homemade OR purchased) into a 9" tart pan with removeable bottom. Trim top edges of the dough to fit pan. Pierce dough several times on bottom/sides using tines of a fork. Set aside. NOTE: No tart pan? No problem! This can also be made in a 9" pie crust in a pie pan (NOT deep dish).
Melt chocolate and butter in a small saucepan on LOW heat, stirring often. Once melted, remove pan from heat. Set pan aside to let sauce cool completely.
In separate bowl combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, flour and vanilla. Stir well, until ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour cooled chocolate sauce into the batter in a slow drizzle, stirring constantly as it is added, until combined. Pour chocolate batter into unbaked tart shell (or pie crust, if using).
Bake on a middle oven rack at 325°F for 40-45 minutes. When done, the top should be set, nicely browned, and the crust should be golden brown. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the top center of the tart (or pie). It should come out free of batter. Carefully transfer tart pan to a wire rack; let it cool 15 minutes before removing tart pan's outer band and/or serving.
To remove tart from the pan, place your hand under the tart; gently push up on the bottom plate to loosen tart from the outer ring. Cool completely, then cut into 8 slices. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping (optional). Enjoy!
