Can You Omit Orange and Cinnamon from Chocolate Orange Tart for Berries

Question

Hello! My daughter would like to make a Fourth of July fruit tart this year and she is new to tarts. I found the Chocolate Orange Tart recipe on your website. Do you think she could omit the orange zest/orange juice and cinnamon from the filling? She wants to top with blueberries and strawberries and wasn't sure if those flavors would go well with the berries. Thank you!

Hi Angie -
Your daughter can absolutely leave out the orange zest and juice and the cinnamon. She will have a really rich chocolatey base for her fruit. She may want to add 1-2 TBS of water to replace the orange juice. One idea -- if she wants to add a 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom instead of cinnamon, that would pair nicely with the blueberries and strawberries.
