I have to tell you that this walnut and chocolate pie recipe is largely inspired by a friend’s recipe and that it was made by my man… yes I know… It is so delicious that I say that you would also like to taste it, wouldn’t you!?
This tart will be perfect served as a dessert after a good weekend meal or even as a snack with tea. It’s absolutely delicious and comforting, and will be perfect in this season, when the days are gray and sad…
Chocolate goes perfectly with nuts, and I obviously chose nuts (the best) and especially local ones!
This tart is quite easy and quick to prepare, especially if you choose to use store-bought shortcrust pastry. If you ever want to do it yourself, I have a few to suggest, I list them a little further down in the article.
