Make-Ahead & Storage

This tart is made for elegant entertaining — it sets beautifully and holds well.

Make-ahead:

You can bake the crust 1 day ahead. Cool completely, cover, and keep at room temperature.

The full tart can be made up to 24 hours ahead. Chill until set, then keep refrigerated.

Storage:

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For best texture, let slices sit at room temperature 10–15 minutes before serving.

Serving & slicing tip:

Wipe your knife between cuts for sharp, clean slices.

If the ganache is very firm from the fridge, wait a few minutes before slicing.

Freezing (optional):

You can freeze slices, but the ganache may lose some of its silky texture after thawing. If you do freeze, wrap slices well and thaw overnight in the fridge.

Transport tip (for hosting):

Keep the tart chilled until you’re ready to leave, then transport in a flat carrier. Add fresh berries/flowers right before serving for the prettiest finish.
