Easy Dark Chocolate Tart – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Easy Dark Chocolate Tart?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 160°C (320⁰F). Then, follow this recipe to prepare the basic shortbread dough. Once ready, bake the chilled dough in a 33cm x 9cm tart tin with a removable bottom following these instructions. Allow it to cool completely.

TIPS: Swap out the basic butter shortbread dough for a delicious alternative. Try using shortbread dough made with yogurt (no eggs needed!), or experiment with nutty or corn flour-based options.

STEP 2

Next, wash the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them.

TIPS: If you want to effortlessly remove the pit from peaches, here’s a simple method. Start by cutting the fruit in half lengthwise, right down to the pit. Then, rotate one half around its axis. Voila! The pit should come out smoothly, leaving you with perfectly pitted peaches.

STEP 3

In a saucepan, pour the cream and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

TIPS: If you find yourself in need of cream but don’t have any on hand, fear not! You can replace it with a mixture of 2/5 tbsp. (100g) of milk and 2 tbsp. (28g) of butter.

STEP 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until it completely dissolves.

STEP 5

Add the sugar and vanilla sugar to the chocolate mixture, followed by the eggs. Mix everything thoroughly.

STEP 6

Now, fill the cooled shortbread crust with the chocolate filling.

STEP 7

Place the tart tin in the preheated oven at 160°C (320⁰F) and bake for 20 minutes.

TIPS: Don’t panic if the filling in your tart jiggles a bit after baking. Once it cools down completely and chills in the refrigerator, it will set perfectly.

STEP 9

Once chilled, decorate the tart with chopped peaches and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
