Dark chocolate tarts with vanilla bean pastry. One of the most simple desserts to make, with the added bonus that you can make extra ganache and keep in a jar for special treats, it holds really well! The ganache is a tried and tested recipe and extremely simple.
Ganache
250g Dark Chocolate
300mls Cream
Simply heat the cream and pour over chocolate pieces, allow to stand for a minute or so and then mix together, this is a fail safe method, that has never backfired on me! If you require a little extra sweetness, you can add a little icing sugar.
Sweet Pastry
200g Flour
100g Butter
75g Sugar
Vanilla Seeds/Lemon zest (for extra flavor)
1 Egg
Touch of water if needed
Rub butter and flour together, until it resembles bread crumbs. Add sugar, vanilla, egg and water if needed. Gently bring together until it is all combined. Try not to over work, then wrap and chill until needed.
The coffee is a beautiful Nespressio recreation! And goes delightfully with the chocolate tart.
