Ingredients

Eggless Tart Crust

Chocolate Filling:

1 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin
3 tablespoons (45 ml) whole milk
1 ¼ cup (300 ml) heavy cream
2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
A pinch of fine sea salt
1 cup (about 200 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, broken into small pieces (I used semi-sweet)
3 ½ tablespoons (50 g) unsalted butter, softened
Sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

Crust:

Make the eggless tart crust following the steps in this recipe.

Filling:

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the milk and let stand 5 minutes.
Put the cream, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; stir to combine. At the first boil turn the heat off. Add the butter and chocolate. Stir until well combined. Stir in the milk-gelatin mixture.
Pour into the tart shell and refrigerate for 2 hours to set or overnight (preferred).
Lightly sprinkle salt flakes, if desired. Serve.

Notes

EXTRA TIPS:

Be sure to use quality chocolate, with a cacao percentage between 60 and 65 percent. For a sweeter taste use semi-sweet chocolate.
To prevent the tart dough from rising when baking, line it with a lightly greased sheet of parchment paper and fill it with dried beans.
When pressing the pastry dough into the fluted side of the tart pan be sure that the pastry fits snugly where the bottom and side of the pan meet with no air pockets.
Use a removable-bottom tart pan for easy unmolding. This is the one I have.
Try adding different flavors to the pastry dough, such as cinnamon, lemon zest, orange zest, vanilla, poppy seeds, or whatever fits the tart’s filling.
