The creamy dark chocolate crumble is a truly simple and delicious recipe , capable of making everyone agree thanks to its intense chocolate flavour. At home it is loved by adults and children and when I prepare it there is never any leftover! And how could it anyway, since it has an irresistible taste, especially for chocolate lovers. Its preparation is within everyone’s reach and the time for its realization is very short. It is a tart-like since the base and the covering shell are characterized by a shortcrust pastry , but its consistency is crumbled and not compact like the classic shortcrust pastry. This type of shortcrust pastry is simpler to make than the classic one as it needs to be worked briefly, just long enough to form the characteristic crumbs, and does not require resting times. The dark chocolate cream has another peculiarity: it is prepared without eggs and this makes it lighter, but also characterized by an intense dark chocolate flavour; it is also suitable for those who have egg intolerance problems. There are no excuses for not preparing (and re-preparing) this fantastic creamy dark chocolate crumble, perfect for any occasion , to be enjoyed during the week, but also as a Sunday dessert or to be prepared on special occasions: little effort for an extraordinary dessert! So let’s prepare it together right away using the easy step-by-step recipe!
