Chocolate Nemesis Tart
“Oozing chocolate tart is, undeniably, the most delicious chocolate tart I have ever eaten - keep space for it. Seriously, you have got to be a true chocoholic to appreciate a slice of this indulgence.”
Yield : 1 x 30cm tart
Sweet Pastry Base
Ingredients:
- 250g butter
- 125g white sugar
- 1 egg
- 470g cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg yolk
Method:
- Whisk the butter, sugar and egg together. Add the dry ingredients and bring the pastry together by kneading it slightly.
- Using your hands, thinly line a pie dish with the pastry. You won't use the whole amount and can freeze any extra. Dock the base with a fork, making holes in the base and side pastry of the pie. Place in the fridge to relax for 30 minutes. Bake at 150°C for about 20 minutes.
- Lightly whisk the egg yolk and smooth over the cooled pastry base. Put it back in the oven to cook for 5 minutes. This prevents the base from going soggy.
