Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
½ cup butter
3 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups milk
2 eggs
⅓ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (2-inch) strip of lemon zest
7 pitted fresh cherries, or more to taste
2 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
2 large kiwis, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in egg and egg yolk until dough comes together.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dry to the touch, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the pastry cream. Bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
  • Whisk eggs, sugar, and flour together in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in hot milk, a little at a time, until custard is smooth. Pour custard back into the saucepan; add lemon zest. Cook, whisking constantly, until pastry cream thickens and comes to a boil, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, discard lemon zest, and let cool.
  • Remove tart crust from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Unmold crust and fill with cooled pastry cream. Pile cherries in the center. Arrange peach slices in a ring around the cherries. Arrange kiwi slices in a ring around the peaches.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I loved this tart. The chocolate ganache was rich and creamy, but not too sweet. The fruit added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.
