This ganache is different. It is special.
It is not like a normal ganache with just heavy cream and chocolate. It has brown sugar added to it. Just that one simple component makes it ridiculous (in a good way). A rich, caramel-y taste that just melts the minute you bite in.
Cherries have been on sale lately at grocery stores around me, so I have been buying them whenever I can. You can throw in as many cherries as you want in this tart, but I limited it so I could get a giant thick layer of ganache. The crust is soft and buttery yet crisp enough to stand up.
The rain started today; it was freezing. Early morning on the train to work, everyone was bundled up head to toe and looked miserable. The walk to work left my hands numb and even standing next to the oven I couldn't warm up.
This post has taken me forever to get posted. My computer is slowly dying on me. Everything functions in slow motion. I could type a whole sentence before it even shows up on the screen. Opening more than two internet pages shuts down safari instantly. Gosh I can barely run photoshop, well if I want to wait the ten minutes it takes to start up. And then will just randomly close down because its completely overloaded.
Sorry for the rant, but it is the most frustrating situation. I wish someone would make my birthday wishes come true and get a new computer. Its less than two weeks away.....
Well a girl can dream anyways....
An adaptation and compilation of two different recipes. Sources to come later.

This is a beautiful post! Your pictures (as always) are amazing. The crust in this looks superb - I think the hardest part about a recipe like this is getting the crust to turn out how you want it. Well done - looks delicious!
Cindi: Thanks. Most of my recipes are found on tastespotting, foodgawker, martha, epicurious, etc. Sometimes old recipe books. Some are just as I saw them, some adapted to what I am craving.
Beautiful photos... this looks so rich and special.
Oh. My. Word.
Your pictures are absolutely stunning and all of that chocolate filling looks UNREAL. My mouth dropped when I saw this. I pinned your post, can not WAIT to try this out!
So gorgeous and mouth-watering. Sorry about your computer, I lost everything in my hard drive crash a few months ago and I hated not having a computer. I want to send you something for your birthday!
Athena: Thank you! It is so tasty, I have already made it twice... Yeah the computer situation, agh!! that is so awful you lost everything, I have the fear of that.
That would be so nice! Most of my family doesn't even remember anymore, just my parents.
Oh wow, this looks amazing!!!! I love cherries and chocolate together, and the way you've described this ganache makes me want to make some now!
YUM. I now have a serious craving for chocolate and cherries and it's almost midnight.
I hope your computer troubles get fixed and that you have a happy birthday!
That is something absolutely gorgeous, I wouldn't dare to eat;) I just can't wait for cherry season in Poland...

Oh. My. God. *__*.

My b*day is on February 1st, yours?
I like this idea, so simple and beautiful... I'll try ganache with brown sugar... I had the same situation with my computer and when it died my hubby bought me new one...
Oh my - I just can't resist the look of this. I'm off to buy the ingredients. How fantastic does that ganache look?
Such beautiful photography!
Wonderful photos! Unfortunately in my country it's winter-this recipe has to wait. I'll keep in mind to bake it in may :)
I hope your birthday wish comes true, there's nothing worse than a computer dying a slow death. Well, actually a sudden death with all your data lost would be worse, but you know what I mean.
This tart looks fantastic. I love how thick the ganache layer is, it's like pure decadence!
thank you for another beautiful recipe! i am making my husband a roast beef with yorkshire pudding on Australia Day (ok, it's not lamb, but meh to lamb when there is beef to be had with yorkshire pud & home made gravy), and this fabulous heaven-in-a-cherry-tart i will be making for dessert.
What a gorgeous tart. It is always such a pleasure to visit here. I never leave empty handed. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

This tart is fantastic- the ganache is so velvety and rich- but sweet enough not to be too heavy. Love it.
