Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield One 10-inch tart (6 to 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 23

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the tart pan
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 cup crushed chocolate wafer cookies, such as Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers (17 cookies) (crushed not crumbs)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
One 4-ounce semisweet chocolate bar, chopped
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract, optional
Toasted coconut chips, optional
Toasted sliced almonds, optional
Dark chocolate curls, optional

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom. Pulse the toasted almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add the cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until combined. Gradually add the melted butter and pulse until a dough forms. Pat the mixture into and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake until the crust is set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache into the prepared crust. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • For the filling: Bring the coconut milk and whole milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until pale and thickened. Gradually add a quarter of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in the remaining milk and return the mixture to the saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens (do not boil). Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and toasted coconut. Pour into the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until cooled, about 30 minutes.
  • For the almond whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the almond extract, if desired, and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon the whipped cream over the tart and garnish as desired.

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.

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of this tart, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help it to set smoothly and give it a glossy finish. If you don't temper the chocolate, it may seize up and become grainy.
  • Use a tart pan with a removable bottom: This will make it easy to remove the tart from the pan once it's baked.
  • Chill the tart before serving: This will help the tart to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This chocolate dream tart is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chocolate tart dark and rich or light and creamy, this recipe has you covered. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, give this chocolate dream tart a try.
