How To Make Chocolate Tart Recipe?

1. Make the Crust: Cream 115g butter, 55g sugar, and 1g salt in a stand mixer for 2 minutes until creamy. Add 155g flour and mix on low for 30 seconds. Add 1 egg yolk and mix until dough forms. Knead into a ball, press into a 6-inch disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Tart Pan: Spray a 9.5-inch tart pan with nonstick spray. Press the chilled dough into the pan evenly. Trim the edges and freeze for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 175°C. Bake the crust on a baking sheet for 20 minutes until golden. Let cool.
4. Make the Filling: Place 225g chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat 300ml cream to a boil, then pour over the chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Add 30g sugar, 1g salt, 2 eggs, and 5ml vanilla, whisk until combined. Pour into the cooled crust and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but wobbly in the center. Let cool for 1 hour.
5. Make the Glaze: Microwave 45ml cream and 15ml corn syrup until boiling. Add 60g chocolate and stir until smooth. Add 15ml hot water and mix well.
6. Glaze the Tart: Pour the glaze onto the tart and tilt to spread evenly. Let it set for 1 hour.
7. Serve: Remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve with whipped cream if desired.

Recipe Tips:

• Use high-quality chocolate: Choose good-quality chocolate for the filling to ensure a smooth, rich flavor.
• Chill the crust before baking: Make sure to chill the crust for 30 minutes before baking to prevent it from shrinking during baking.
• Tap the pan to remove air bubbles: Gently tap the tart pan on the counter after filling it to release any trapped air bubbles.
• Let the tart cool completely: Allow the tart to cool fully before glazing so the glaze doesn’t melt into the filling.
• Refrigerate before serving: After glazing, refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour to help the filling set and make slicing easier.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the tart cool to room temperature before covering and storing it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
