Bitter Chocolate Tart
September 24, 2005 17:15
Bitter Chocolate Tart


This recipe is for the tart alone, pictured on the plate. Highly recommended for a real chocolate fix. The chef also provided me with his choice of wine to accompany the dish, Elysium Black Muscat, California.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

Line Tart case with sweet pastry and bake blind.

500g 70% cocoa dark chocolate (see my recommendation)
300ml Double cream
200ml Milk
3 Eggs

Boil the milk and cream mix in a pan and pour over the chocolate – mix well and whisk in the eggs

Pour into pastry case

Bake in oven @ 90 degrees C for approx 45 mins

Allow to cool before serving


Chocolate Traveller Notes

For this recipe I have recommended both the Amedei 70% Toscano Black dark chocolate (1kg) and our own Venezuela, 70% dark chocolate bar. Both have a wide range of flavours without being too tart which I think would ruin the point of this bitter chocolate tart. You will need 500g to make this recipe.

I have made this chocolate dessert and I used the Michel Cluizel grand noir 85% chocolate bar, which I love. I thought it worked really very well and would recommend using this for anyone prefering a higher cocoa, more bitter tasting chocolate. It is a bitter chocolate tart after all although I appreciate everyones idea of bitter chocolate varies greatly.

The Venezuela chocolate worked beautifully with this recipe and I have since used it for others as I find it such a powerful flavoured chocolate and suited for a broad range of uses. The view from this hotel certainly looks majestic - nice to see this hotel offers decent chocolate - the chocolate is ALWAYS overlooked to my amazement in some of the best restaurants still.
