Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For crust
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
5 ounces wheatmeal biscuits such as Carr's whole-wheat crackers, finely ground (1 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For filling
2 large egg yolks
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
10 1/2 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
1/2 cup candied clementine peel (not sugarcoated; recipe follows), finely chopped
Garnish: candied clementine peel
Special Equipment
a 9- or 10-inch fluted round tart pan (1 inch deep) with a removable bottom; an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil tart pan.
  • Stir together biscuit crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl, then press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom of tart pan. Bake crust 10 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack.
  • Make filling:
  • Lightly beat yolks in a small bowl. Bring cream to a simmer in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and remove from heat. Add about one third of hot cream to yolks in a slow stream, whisking constantly, then pour yolk mixture into remaining cream, whisking.
  • Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it is thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 170°F on thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes (do not let boil). Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate, whisking until smooth, then whisk in chopped candied peel.
  • Pour filling evenly over crust and chill tart, uncovered, until firm, at least 2 hours. Remove side of pan and serve tart chilled or at cool room temperature.

The tart didn't set properly and was a bit runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure why, but my tart didn't turn out as well as I expected. Maybe I'll try it again.

I'm allergic to citrus, so I used candied orange peel instead of clementine peel. It still turned out great!

I used a store-bought tart shell for this recipe and it turned out great. It's a great way to save time.
