Oh my goodness, this was so divine and I'm truly not saying that just cause I made it. This is a chocolate tart. So easy to make, I couldn't believe it. We even let the kids stay up and extra half hour to try a tiny slither of it tonight, even though normally pudding/dessert is only a weekend thing (and even then not both nights).
Anyway, if you want to make this you will need:
Pre-baked pie crust. I used sweet shorty pre-rolled pastry in a large flan dish, baked at 180oC for around 20 mins (basically until golden brown) - then allow to cool as it needs to be cool before the filling goes in.
Filling
1 pot thickened cream (300mls)
2 level tbspns caster sugar
tiny pinch of salt
115gm butter (softened)
430 gms dark chocolate
100mls milk
Pop the cream, salt and sugar into a pan and heat till boiling, stir to keep smooth. As soon as it is boiling, remove from heat and stir in butter and chocolate. Kept stirring and stirring until they have melted into the cream and the mixture has a smooth consistency. Slowly pour in the milk and mix well till smooth. If it separates at all (mine didn't but just in case), let it cool for another 5 minutes and stir in a little extra milk till smooth again. Once you have a smooth mixture, pour into the pre-baked pie crust and allow to set at room temperature, about 1-2 hours (or if you are impatient like me, in the freezer for a a few minutes to speed the process so the kids could have a taste).
Way yum and totally worth giving it a go. If you like chocolate, you wont be disappointed.
looks like a camp dessert to me!!!!!!!!
