Enter, the green monster. The most delicious, creamy, yummy chocolate tart ever.
Original Recipe
To keep it "I'm counting calories and...you want me to eat that?" friendly, I used half and half instead of heavy cream, a Splenda/Sugar blend instead of sugar, and 2% milk instead of whole milk for the chocolately ganache on top. It cut the calories nearly in half, and dropped the fat grams by 10.

Time Consuming? Yes, it literally took me all day (damn you unshelled pistachios...).
Worth it? Absolutely
...
I think my family and friends consumed it in less than 24 hours.
Poof! Gone.
...
Props: milk jar 10¢
antique silverware 25¢ each
tart pan 50¢
napkins, plate, old cutting boards all on hand.
There's a sweet little used furniture store where the employees know me by name. I stop by nearly every day after work looking for finds, and this place has some seriously good stuff. I'm planning on buying most of the furniture, kitchen supplies, and other fun things there when the time is right.
Don't ask me the store's name because I'd never tell...
Unless you're from out of state and just visiting, then maybe I'll take you there.
Blindfolded.
