Step by step recipe
Step 1 - ⌛ 1 hour 40 min.
Blind bake 300 g sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) to obtain a cooked tart case, and allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 150°C or 302°F.
Preheat oven to 150°C or 302°F.
Step 3 - ⌛ 3 min.
As soon as it boils, remove from heat and add 200 g dark chocolate cut in small pieces. Mix until obtaining a smooth mixture.
Step 4 - ⌛ 2 min.
Break 2 eggs into a bowl and add 10 g vanilla sugar.
Step 5 - ⌛ 1 min.
Beat to mix thoroughly.
Step 6 - ⌛ 3 min.
Then add beaten eggs to the chocolate mixture, and mix well.
Step 7 - ⌛ 2 min.
Pour the mixture into the pastry case.
Step 8 - ⌛ 15 min.
Cook about 15 minutes, watching carefully. The tart should still be the "trembling" slightly in the centre to be perfect.
Step 9 - ⌛ 10 min.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a rack (careful - it's very very fragile). Serve warm or cold the same day, while the pastry is still crisp and the chocolate creamy, a pure delight!
Step 10
For a professional look which eliminates small imperfections from the surface (like in the photograph), remember to pour the mixture into the tart through a very fine strainer.
Remarks
To decorate, you can sprinkle it, when cold, with a little cocoa powder, icing sugar and/or chocolate chips.
You can also add a delicious citrus fruit flavour to the chocolate, by adding a fine layer of candied grapefruit peel before pouring in the chocolate.
