This sounds very rich, but definitely not.
Serve: 8 - 10Time: 1 hour + chilling
Ingredients:
For the pastry:
- 125 g cold butter
- 250 ml cake flour
- 80 ml icing sugar
- 60 ml ground almonds
- 60 ml cocoa powder
- 1 egg yolk
For the custard filling:
- 125 ml milk
- 125 ml cream
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 60 ml sugar
- 200 g dark chocolate, melted
Method:
- For the pastry, process the butter, flour, icing sugar, almonds and cocoa until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and process until the mixture just comes together.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to 4 mm thickness. Line the base and sides of a 23 cm round, fluted tart tin (with removable base). Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Line the pastry with scrunched baking paper and fill with dry beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove beans and paper. Reduce oven to 160°C. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the pastry is just cooked.
- For the custard, heat the milk and cream on low. Bring to a boil and remove from heat immediately.
- Whisk together the egg, yolk and sugar and pour over the milk mixture, whisking to combine. Stir in the chocolate.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and pour into the cooled tart shell. Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling has set. Remove from the tin once cooled.
