Salted Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Tart

If you are looking for a decadent dessert to serve your guests during the holidays, this Salted Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Tart is where it’s at! A crust made of Oreos and butter is filled with a rich chocolate ganache and topped with fresh pomegranate seeds and a pomegranate glaze. It looks like an overwhelming dish to make because of it’s impressive appearance, but it is actually a very simple dessert recipe! I have made this for multiple gatherings and it has been a hit overall. As one person put it, it’s like eating a slice of truffle!

This dessert is not for the faint of heart and is definitely for the chocolate lover. Some of my family who aren’t big chocolate lovers said it was a bit too much for them. Others who are big chocolate fans were in love with the Salted Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Tart! This is a large tart and servings should be small based on how rich it is, so it will go a long ways.

If you aren’t a big sweet and salty fan, you can easily leave out the sea salt in this recipe. I personally love how salt brings out the flavors of chocolate so I am all about it. You can also customize it with different fruits on top. I didn’t have any pomegranate seeds on hand the last time I was making it, so I topped it with some fresh blueberries. The chocolate is really the star of the show here!

The better the chocolate you use, the better this Salted Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Tart will turn out. This is not the recipe to use a cheap grainy chocolate on. It doesn’t have to be the super expensive European chocolate, but make sure it’s a good quality that you like. It will add to the smoothness and richness of the overall recipe.

Enjoy this dessert at room temperature for a rich and creamy treat or scoop out a piece right from the refrigerator for a firm chocolate tart. No matter how you serve it, I guarantee all the chocolate lovers will rejoice!
