Chocolate tart
As you can see, there's very little added sugar in this recipe, so it's a very chocolatey and bitter-sweet tart.

Step by step recipe
Stage 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.
Stage 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.
Stage 4 - 2 min.
Break 2 Eggs into a bowl and add 10 g Vanilla sugar.
Stage 5 - 1 min.
Beat to mix thoroughly.
Stage 6 - 3 min.
Then add beaten eggs to the chocolate mixture, and mix well.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Pour the mixture into the pastry case.
Stage 8 - 15 min.
Cook about 15 minutes, watching carefully. The tart should still be the "trembling" slightly in the centre to be perfect.
Stage 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!
Stage 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.
