How to Make Warm Chocolate Tart With Red Wine Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Tart Filling:** In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces (225g) of finely chopped bittersweet chocolate.
  2. **Heat the Cream:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream and 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to simmer.
  3. **Melt the Chocolate:** Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it stand for 30 seconds, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. **Cool and Add Egg:** Allow the chocolate mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in 1 large egg until fully incorporated.
  5. **Fill the Tart Shell:** Pour the chocolate filling into a 9-inch pre-baked tart shell.
  6. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  7. **Cool:** Let the tart cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving warm.
  8. **Make the Red Wine Sauce:** In a deep saucepan, add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a deep mahogany brown (caramelizes).
  9. **Add Wine:** Carefully pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) of dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot). Whisk vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  10. **Chill:** Let the sauce cool completely in the refrigerator before serving.
  11. **Serve:** Drizzle the chilled red wine sauce over the warm chocolate tart and serve immediately.
