And I can see potential for lots of variation with the toppings and even flavorings/mix-ins with the ganache. Super easy and elegant. Just needed the inspiration to start. Thanks again!

I did sprinkle a little brown sugar on the bottom of crust before baking. It looks gorgeous and I will report back later about how it tastes!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Did you put pie weights or beans in the shell while baking it? I find that really helps to keep it from shrinking. Then remove them about 5 minutes before the shell is done baking to crisp up the bottom. Hi Gladys! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Did you put pie weights or beans in the shell while baking it?

This recipe was awesome! Everyone loved it with homemade whipped cream, strawberries, and shaved chocolate. The only problem I had was my tart shell shrunk, I don't know if that was my fault, or the lame electric oven we have. Anyway, still came out great!
