You can make this indulgent chocolate tart up to two days ahead. Any leftovers will make a welcome treat with a cup of coffee the next day

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Dinner, Treat

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g pack all-butter biscuit
100g butter
1 tbsp golden syrup or honey
100g bar dark chocolate
100g bar milk chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
200ml whipping cream
3 tbsp crème fraîche, to decorate
200g raspberry, to serve

Steps:

  • Crush the biscuits by putting them in a large, strong, plastic food bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Melt the butter with the syrup or honey in the microwave, then stir in the biscuits. Press onto the base and up the sides of a 12 x 36cm rectangular tin (or 23-25cm round flan tin) and chill while you make the filling.
  • Break up the two chocolate bars and put in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave for 2-3 mins on Medium, stirring halfway through. Stir in the vanilla extract, then sift in the icing sugar. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold into the melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hrs or for up to 2 days.
  • Just before serving, remove the tart from the tin and slide it onto a flat plate (loosen edges first with the tip of a small pointed knife). You will find it easier to remove the tart if you leave it at room temperature for 30 mins. Put a few tsps of crème fraîche along the centre of the tart (or around the edges if the tart is circular) and top each with a raspberry, then dust lightly with icing sugar. Cut into thin slices and serve with extra raspberries on the side.

CHOCOLATE TART



Chocolate Tart image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
1 large egg, separated
2 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • To make the pastry: combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the middle of the pastry. Combine the egg yolk with the ice water in a small bowl, whisking to blend; pour it into the well and work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin (this may take a little practice) and lay it inside a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan so it fits tightly; press the edges into the sides of the pan. It is important to press the dough evenly into every nook and corner of the ring, especially the scalloped edges. Shave off the excess hanging dough with a knife. Put the tart in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to relax.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the tart pan on a sturdy cookie sheet so it will be easy to move in and out of the oven. Line the tart with aluminum foil and add pie weights or dried beans to keep the sides of the tart from buckling. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and weights. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the crust with a beaten egg white. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 8 minutes until the tart is golden in color, but not brown. Remember the tart will be cooked again with the filling. It should be cooked but light in color so that it will not burn on the second bake. Set aside to cool and lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • To make the filling: Heat the heavy cream and milk in a pot over medium-low flame, until it simmers slightly around the edges. Remove from the heat; add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smoothed out. Add the sugar and salt and whisk until well incorporated. Beat the eggs in a small bowl until blended and add them to the chocolate mixture, stir until completely blended. Pour the filling into the cooled tart shell and bake at 325 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes until the filling is set and the surface is glossy. If you see any bubbles or cracks forming on the surface, take the tart out right away - that means it is beginning to become over baked. Cool before cutting.

BAKED CHOCOLATE TART

I think this tart is best served with some seasonal soft fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries).

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 ounces unsalted butter
5 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate
8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
Small pinch salt
4 eggs
7 ounces granulated sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 medium heaping tablespoons sour cream or creme fraiche
10-inch flan or tart shell, baked blind

Steps:

  • Place the butter, chocolate, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow to melt slowly, stirring occasionally until well mixed.
  • In a separate bowl beat the eggs and sugar together until light and well creamed, and then add the golden syrup and sour cream or creme fraiche. Stir the chocolate mixture into this mixture, scraping all the chocolate out with a spatula. Once you?ve mixed it well, pour it into the pastry shell. Place into a preheated 150C/300 degree F/Gas 2 oven for 40 to 45 minutes. During cooking a beautiful crust will form on top.
  • Carefully remove the tart from the oven and allow to cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes, during which time the skin will crack and the filling will shrink slightly.

SILKIEST CHOCOLATE TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Silkiest Chocolate Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, powdered sugar, large egg, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, water, butter, instant coffee, dark chocolate, sugar, vanilla, salt, large eggs, fresh raspberry, powdered sugar

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup water
½ cup butter, 1 stick
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
3 large eggs
1 pt fresh raspberry, for serving
powdered sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tart dough: add the butter to a medium bowl and sift in the powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until smooth.
  • Beat the egg and add half at a time to the butter mixture, beating well to incorporate between additions.
  • Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, and add the salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix the dough until the cocoa powder is evenly distributed. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight (if you chill the dough overnight, let it sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before rolling out).
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Grease a 9-inch (23-cm) tart pan and roll out the chilled dough to an 11-inch (28-cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, then unroll the dough over the pan.
  • Press the dough against the bottom and sides of the pan, then use the rolling pin to roll over the top of the pan, cutting off any excess dough (re-roll any excess dough and bake into cookies, if desired). Press the dough gently against the pan once more. Using a folk, prick some holes in the bottom of the crust so it doesn't puff up.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the tart shell from the oven and reduce the temperature to 300˚F (150˚C)
  • Make the filling: in a medium saucepan, heat the pan over high heat. Combine the water and butter, and bring to a boil. Add the instant coffee and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the chocolate, sugar, and vanilla to a medium bowl and pour the hot butter mixture over. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is glossy.
  • Add the eggs and whisk well to combine. Pour the filling into the par-baked shell. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until chocolate is mostly set but the center jiggles slightly.
  • Cool the tart for at least 30 minutes, or until cool to touch. Garnish with raspberries and sift powdered sugar over the top. Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 ⅔ cups all purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 large egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon water, ice cold
9 oz good quality bittersweet chocolate
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ sheets gelatin sheet
1 cup ice water
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water, room temperature
3 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
3 tablespoons heavy cream
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
whipped cream, for serving
1 tart pan, 9 in
pie weight, dried beans, or uncooked rice

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt and pulse to incorporate. Add the butter, a few cubes at a time, and pulse until broken down to pea-sized pieces.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vanilla, and water. Slowly drizzle the egg yolk mixture into the food processor and pulse until the dough starts to come together but is not yet fully incorporated, 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap tightly, and shape into a 1-inch-thick disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 2 days.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy rolling.
  • Place the dough disc between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out to an 11-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick, starting from the center and rolling away from you and rotating the dough 90° every few rolls to ensure even thickness. If the edges of the dough crack, use the rolling pin to bring them back together. If the dough softens too much, refrigerate for a few minutes to re-solidify.
  • Carefully roll the dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll over a 9-inch tart pan and gently press against the bottom and sides. Roll the rolling pin over the pan to trim the edges of the crust flush with the pan. Patch any holes around the edges with the excess dough. Use a fork to prick holes all over the crust. Freeze for about 20 minutes, until the dough is firm.
  • Arrange an oven rack in the center position. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Crumple a sheet of parchment paper in your hands, then unwrap and press flush against the crust, covering the edges to prevent them from burning. Fill the center of the crust with pie weights and spread in an even layer to cover the entire surface.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes, until partially baked and the parchment no longer sticks to the dough. Carefully remove the parchment and pie weights. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, until the bottom of the crust is starting to brown. Carefully transfer the tart pan to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  • Make the filling: Chop the chocolate.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and salt. Warm over medium-low heat until simmering gently around the edges of the pot, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, add the chopped chocolate, and stir to combine. Cover for 5 minutes, then uncover and whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Slowly pour a bit of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, to temper, then pour in the remaining chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Strain the filling through a fine-mesh sieve into a spouted measuring cup, then pour into the cooled tart shell and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
  • Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set and the surface is glossy.
  • Carefully remove the tart from the oven and transfer to the wire rack to cool for at least 45 minutes.
  • Make the mirror glaze: In a small bowl, soak the gelatin sheets in the ice water to bloom, about 5 minutes.
  • In a small pot, combine the sugar and room temperature water and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and sift in the cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
  • In another small pot, heat the cream over medium-low heat until starting to simmer. Slowly pour the hot cream into the cocoa mixture and gently whisk to combine. Be careful not to incorporate any air.
  • Once the gelatin has softened, lift the sheets from the cold water and wring out any excess water. Add the gelatin sheets to the cocoa and cream mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
  • Let the glaze cool until the temperature reaches between 90-110°F (32-43°C), or warm to the touch but no longer hot.
  • Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve into a spouted measuring cup. Pour the glaze over the tart, using an offset spatula to cover evenly. Refrigerate the tart for about 1 hour to allow the mirror glaze to set.
  • Generously sprinkle flaky sea salt over the tart, then slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!

Down-Under Chocolate Fudge Tart image

This to-die-for Aussie chocolate tart is light and fluffy with awesome chocolate taste. Family and friends always request it when invited for dinner!

Provided by Marie De Pasquale-Wilson

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅞ cup butter
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon cold water, or more as needed
1 ⅔ cups baking chocolate
¼ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Combine flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar in a food processor; process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water and process until a dough forms. Add more cold water if necessary. Remove dough from food processor and mold into 2 flat shapes; you can use the extra one another time. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Butter a 9-inch flan pan. Roll 1 portion of dough out to a 9-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Line the prepared pan with the pastry. Cover pastry in the pan with a layer of aluminum foil and fill the foil with raw rice.
  • Pre-bake pastry in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove rice and foil and continue baking until pastry is a light golden color, 3 to 8 minutes more. Remove from oven, leaving oven on.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave oven until melted, 3 to 5 minutes, mixing after each minute.
  • Combine sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl and add to the melted chocolate. Stir well and pour mixture into the baked pastry crust.
  • Bake tart in the hot oven for 20 minutes; filling will still be runny and will set upon cooling.
  • Allow tart to cool slightly and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the tart will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the tart tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the tart cooks evenly.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the tart from falling apart.
  • Serve the tart with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Chocolate tart is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, chocolate tart is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give chocolate tart a try.
