There are some absurd myths about harvesting and processing sloes floating around, and we think it’s time to dispel a few of these: So easy to make and really good! I loved the crunch from the cornmeal. The blueberries could have used a little more acid (although my husband thought they were perfect) - nice with some plain frozen yogurt or 50/50 tangy whipped cream on top.

Delicious, but mine also needed an extra 15 minutes and even then was a bit runny in the middle. Also, I loved the look of it in the springform pan, but my crust slumped down and then the filling leaked a bit. This was a great chocolate tart and very easy to make. I agree the pastry wasn’t particularly memorable but it worked well with the filling which was the star. I used Cacao from Diaspora for the pastry.

I added 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, because, why not? I didn't have mascarpone, so used sour cream instead, as the recipe indicates would also work. It did take an hour and 20 minutes to bake, surprisingly!
