Chocolate Pastry
320g plain flour
60g cocoa
160g caster sugar
Pinch salt
160g cold butter, diced
2 eggs
Caramel Filling
395 gm can Condensed milk
50 gm butter
2 tbsp golden syrup
Chocolate Filling
1 cup heavy cream
150 gms bittersweet chocolate, chopped
A pinch fine sea salt Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, salt and butter in the bowl of a food processor and process until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the eggs and process until dough just starts to come together.
- Turn on to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until just smooth. Shape into a disc and cover with plastic wrap, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
- Roll out the pastry to about 3mm thick. Line a shallow tart tin with a removable base with the pastry and trim any excess. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to rest.
- Line pastry with baking paper and fill with rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove paper and rice and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until firm to touch.
- Once the pastry is cooked set it aside on a wire rack to cool. Once cool, turn out of the tart tin.
- For the caramel : While the pastry is cooking, put the condensed milk, butter and golden syrup into a heavy bottomed saucepan and stir over low heat till the mixture thickens and becomes a lovely golden colour. Remove from heat and let it cool for a while.
- When the caramel is still warm (still has a slightly pourable consistency) spread it in the tart shell. Let it fill about half the tart shell.
- For the Chocolate filling: Heat the cream over medium heat till it boils.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate pieces in a bowl and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Mix the chocolate and cream together with a pinch of salt to make a smooth mixture.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled caramel in the tart shell. Spread to cover the caramel.
- Set the tart aside for about 2 hours to set.
- When it is firm, cut into wedges and serve with some crème fraíche.
Enjoy!
