Of course, when a chef says a recipe is ‘easy’ to make, I take it with a pinch of salt. After all, what is easy to a chef usually isn’t easy to me. Nigella Lawson, however, often creates dishes from recipes that are incredibly easy to follow. Case in point, Nigella Lawson’s Salted Chocolate Tart recipe.

It’s a recipe she made on the latest episode of her new BBC 2 TV series ‘Simply Nigella‘, (Episode 4) and, while this chocolate extravaganza looks as decadent as decadent can be and, yes, is loaded with fat and calories, it has still gone on my ‘must make for Christmas’ list as it looks incredibly delicious. Watch Nigella make it, and I’ll bet it will soon be on yours.

For Nigella Lawson’s Salted Chocolate Tart recipe, you will need:
