A very delicious tart wholy baked and not very difficult to prepare. Try it even today, all ingredients are simple and the result will blow your mind, especially if you are a chocoholic!

Preparation 15'

Bake 40'

Waiting 1-2h

Ingredients

125 gr of butter in room temperature (softened)

115 gr caster sugar

5 egg yolks

300 gr of all purposes flour

For the chocolate cream

250 gr of dark chocolate cut in small pieces

100 gr of whole milk

25 gr of butter

250 gr of fresh liquid cream

1 egg

For the dough: Beat the butter in a mixer to soften. Add the sugar and without stopping beating, allow them to be well incorporated. Add one by one the eggs, continue beating and finally add the flour. Beat until the mixture looks like sandy. Press the sandy mixture with your hands and try to form a ball. Fully cover it with a cling film and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least an hour. If the weather is hot, let it longer. Even two hours. Preheat the oven to 160 C degrees.

Take the dough off the fridge and roll out pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper by making a 3mm thick dough. Line base and side of prepared tin with pastry. Trim excess.

(optionally if the dough is very soft, place in the fridge for 10 minutes)

Bake the tart for 10 minutes until it starts having a gold colour.

Take off the oven and let it cool for few minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 230 C degrees (resistance. If your oven is generally hot optionally try to bake to 210 C degrees)

Prepare the chocolate cream

Boil the milk the fresh liquid cream and the butter in a saucepan. Then pour the mixture over the chocolate in a bowl. Mix well with a spatula (avoid the handmixer because it's preferable to avoid bubbles from mixing). Finally add the egg slightlly beaten previously and continue mixing with the spatula. The mixture will be slightly thick but remain liquid.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the tart and bake them for 30 minutes.

Allow to cool and serve (although hot is brilliant as well!!)

If you wish to add a freshness in your tart I propose you some fresh fruits that you like on top while serving.
