Ingredients for tart shell
Flour — 1 cup
Butter — 1/4 cup, (cold and cubed into small pieces)
Castor Sugar — 1/4 cup
Ingredients for Filling
Cream — 1&¼ cup
Sugar — 1 teaspoon
Butter — 2 tablespoons (room temperature)
Dark chocolate — 100grams (finely chopped)
Milk — 3 tablespoons
Instant Espresso powder — ½ teaspoon
Ingredients for praline Topping
Roasted nuts of choice — 3 tablespoons
Sugar — 3 tablespoons
Water — 1 tablespoon
Take dry ingredients, flour & sugar, mix them well, add butter to it, rub all the ingredients together until the butter flakes mix into the flour and forms a rough dry mixture. Rubbing the butter cubes into the long flakes helps to give a better texture to it. Once dry ingredients are well mixed, add a teaspoon of ice water so that the entire mixture just holds together. Wrap the bowl of batter in cling film and refrigerate it for 20 minutes or so. Alternatively, if you want things to be quick, you can pulse everything in a mixer until all ingredients are just incorporated together, mix until it forms a shaggy dough and then you can put it in the fridge for an hour.
On a plain surface lightly covered with flour, roll out the dough to approximately 3 mm thickness with light pressure. Now, you can drape that dough around your tart tin, set it according to the space. Poke small holes to prevent rising. Bake it for around 10 minutes at 180 °C or until the color is pale golden, wait to let it cool down.
Take a pan, add coffee, sugar, milk, and cream, mix them well and bring to a simmer in a saucepan until everything is well incorporated. Remove it from the heat and add in other ingredients like butter and chocolate. Mix them until chocolate completely dissolves and the mix looks super glossy. You’ll be able to scent the sweet aroma as you complete this process. Once your filling is ready, pour this mix into the baked tart shell, top it with a pinch of sea salt and refrigerate for 2 hours.
For the praline toppings, take a pan and mix some sugar and water. Keep it on low flame and constantly give it a mix, until the mixture is just turning yellow. Once the sugar is light yellow, remove it from heat immediately, as it burns quickly after this point, so be careful. Now, you can add all the chopped nuts of your choice, stir it and pour the mixture over a non-stick parchment sheet. Let the mixture cool down for approximately 5 minutes, you see it getting a little hard and looks like a piece of crystal. Break it into pieces and place on top of the cold tart.
Ready for any occasion. Super easy super tasty. Not only the taste of the dish but even the process of making it is totally satisfying. Let us know your favorite dessert till then try this and enjoy sweet-tooth cravings.
