Chocolate tart with whipped cream

Dessert - Chocolate tart with whipped cream by Laurentia C. - Recipia

Cold butter, cut into slices, gives this chocolate tart with whipped cream a tender crust, and the filling is whipped only after it has cooled completely. The filling with dark chocolate and Nutella turns airy, while lemon zest in the dough gives it a subtle fragrance. I prefer narrow slices, with a thick layer of filling. Prep: 40 minutes. Cook: 27 minutes. Rest: 6 hours. Total time: 7 hours and 7 minutes. Servings: 8. Approximately 830 kcal and 6 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 200 g cold butter
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 350 g flour
  • 3 tablespoons cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon rum essence

For the filling

  • 300 ml unsweetened heavy cream
  • 100 g sugar
  • 180 g dark chocolate
  • 4 heaped tablespoons Nutella
  • 150 g cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon rum essence
  • 200 ml whipped cream

For decorating

  • 150 ml whipped cream
  • 50 g chocolate sauce

Preparation

1. Mix the cold butter, cut into slices, with the sugar, egg, flour, cold milk, vanilla, grated lemon zest and rum essence until a dough forms. Divide it into two discs and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 2. Put the heavy cream and dark chocolate in a wide pan over low heat for about 5 minutes, until the chocolate melts and the cream is gently heated through, without boiling. Take the pan off the heat, stir in the Nutella, then the cold butter cut into slices, the vanilla and the rum essence. 3. Chill the filling in the fridge for 2 hours, until it is no longer warm. Beat it for 7 minutes, until fluffy, gently fold in 200 ml whipped cream and keep the filling cold. 4. Roll out one disc of dough on baking paper, with a sheet of plastic wrap on top, then place it in a 26 cm tart pan. Keep the second disc chilled for another tart. 5. Bake the crust at 200°C for 22 minutes, until golden. If it browns too quickly, cover it loosely with baking paper. 6. Leave the crust to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a serving plate. Fill it with the cold filling, decorate with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, then refrigerate the tart for 3 hours.

Notes

A short espresso alongside. The filling also works in a cake, and you can skip the whipped cream for the decoration and use only chocolate sauce. The crust contains gluten, egg and dairy, and Nutella contains hazelnuts. The dough makes two bases; I used the second one with plum jam, and you can keep the unused one chilled. The tart keeps covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; use plain dark chocolate, without filling.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if the filling stays soft?

Put it in the fridge for another 20 minutes, then beat it for a minute. The butter and chocolate firm up as the filling cools.

Can I use milk chocolate?

Yes, but reduce the sugar in the filling to 60 g, since milk chocolate is already sweetened.

Can the dough be baked in small pans?

Yes. For pans about 10 cm across, start checking the crust after 14 minutes at 200°C, when the edges should be golden.
