Chocolate Tart

There are not many desserts more decadent and rich than a French style chocolate
tart. This delicious pastry is one of my favorite things to make for houseguests
as it pairs very well with afternoon tea or post-dinner coffee.

Instructions

1 Add the flour, salt, sugar, and vanilla powder to the bowl of a stand mixer.
Quickly whisk together.
2 Add the butter and beat until you have a crumbly, sandy mixture.
3 Add the eggs and milk and mix until you have a grainy, sugar cookie style dough.
Remove from the mixer and place into the fridge to chill. Note: if your kitchen
is very cold you might not need to chill the dough and you can go right on to
the next step.
4 Roll out your dough to about 1/3cm thickness. Drape it into your tart mold on a
baking tray and press the dough into the sides so it is evenly shaped. Poke
holes on the bottom with a fork. Place tray in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 175C or 350F
5 Place tray in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove and let cool completely
(1-2 hours at room temperature) before adding any filling.
6 In a pan on medium heat add the butter, milk, and heavy cream. Cook until you
bring the mix up to a simmer, do not allow a rolling boil or it can ruin the
mix.
7 In a bowl place the high quality chocolate and pour over the hot liquid. Let sit
for one minute, then stir with a rubber spatula to make a chocolate liquid.
8 In a small bowl beat together the eggs. While stirring the chocolate mixture
slowly trickle in the beaten eggs. Stir constantly to prevent the eggs from
setting. Then when everything is combined tap the bowl on the counter to release
the air bubbles (optional) and pour into the tart shell to the top.
9 Place the chocolate tart in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set completely
before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
