Who doesn’t like chocolate tart? How about making it with berries? Black mulberries are in season here and I think they make a perfect match with anything based on chocolate! These mulberries are not too sweet, so they balance the flavor of chocolate perfectly. Mulberries are in two colors here, white and purple. I don’t know why but purple one is called black mulberries. Anyway, I love the color combination of mulberries and chocolate too! If you can’t find black mulberries in your area, you can use other berries like blueberries or blackberries to have a similar color combination on your chocolate tart or you can just go with red cranberries, strawberries or raspberries. It’s totally up to your taste! Read more
