Chocolate Tart with Candied Clementine PeelMikkel Vang

This tart was inspired by the torta di cioccolata at Florence's Trattoria Garga. (The recipe appeared in our September 1993 issue.) Tender candied clementine peel adds citrus flavor, making this trufflelike tart even dreamier and evoking the taste of chocolate-dipped candied orange peel.

Cooks' note:

Tart can be chilled up to 1 day (24 hours). Cover loosely once filling is firm.
