Chocolate truffle tart!
I think its time to bring back Chocolate day! After all, what’s a week without at least one chocolate day! Not much fun I should think. And what better way to celebrate this great new resurgence than with Chocolate truffle tart. It’s not only delicious but it’s really addictive too! It’s just SO good! And the taste? Well, it is light, moist, chocolatey, sweet, rich (but surprisingly not as rich as I would have expected with all the chocolate in it) and just, really satisfying. Probably because it is about 90% chocolate, 10% flour. Haha.
While with some chocolate dishes you enjoy the taste slowly, savouring every bite, with this dish, every bite is like tasting a fleeting delicate chocolate memory and you just want to have more! So hard to describe! I guess you will all just have to make it for yourself eh? And as always, sharing is caring, so bake some love for the people around you! You'll put a chocolate spring in their step! Well... here's hoping!
Chocolate truffle tart
Ingredients: 100g butter, ½ cup caster sugar, 100g good quality dark chocolate, 3 eggs separated, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 20g plain flour, 40g hazelnut.
Steps: Preheat the oven 180 degrees Celsius. Butter and flour a 20cm springform cake tin. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl to cool for about 30 minutes.
Add the egg yolks and vanilla and whisk well to combine. Sift in the flour and whisk well, then fold in the hazelnuts.
Beat the eggwhites with electric beaters until very fluffy, and then fold this through the chocolate mixture a spoonful at a time.
Transfer the chocolate mixture into the pre-prepared cake tin and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted through the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for 15 minutes before removing from the tin.
