    Ingredients

    There are two parts to this chocolate tart recipe: the shortcrust pastry and the chocolate filling.

    Sweet Shortcrust Pastry

    You can totally cheat and buy a pastry case or shop-bought pastry, but I really encourage you to try making your own.

    Making homemade pastry is so easy in the Thermomix and it is definitely worth the extra effort. It is way more rewarding and tastes so much better.

    You will need the following store cupboard ingredients:

    • Sugar
    • Butter - straight from the fridge is best
    • Plain flour
    • egg
    • salt
    • vanilla extract

    Chocolate Filling

    • Thickened cream
    • Milk
    • Chocolate - I use 70% chocolate for a lovely rich flavour and silky finish. If you find it too intense you could opt for a lower cocoa content, or add half milk chocolate instead.
    • Sugar
    • Salt
    • Eggs

    How to make sweet shortcrust pastry

    If you haven't tried making pastry in the Thermomix then you have to give it a go. It's really very easy and I promise you, this shortcrust pastry is better than any you will buy.

    To make the actual pastry, all you need to do is mill the sugar in the Thermomix bowl, then add all the other ingredients and mix for 30 seconds.

    Once you have made the pastry, tip it out onto a floured surface, bring it together with your hands and shape it into a flattened disc. Do this quickly - pastry does not like to be handled too much.

    Now wrap it in plastic wrap or an airtight plastic bag and chilli it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    Making the filling

    Making the filling is very quick and easy thanks to the Thermomix.

    Firstly grate the chocolate in the Thermomix and set it aside. There is no need to clean out the bowl but use a spatula to remove as much of the chocolate as possible.

    Next add the cream and milk and warm it for 3 minutes before returning the chocolate to the bowl and stirring it through until it melts and makes a smooth chocolatey mixture.

    Then stir in the sugar and salt, followed by the eggs. It is now ready to bake in the pastry case.

    Making the Tart

    Before you start, you will need to pre-heat your oven and place a baking sheet in the oven to heat. You will place the tart on this to help prevent the bottom of the crust getting soggy. It also makes it easier to transfer the filled tart into the oven.

    You also need to grease and flour your tart tin. A 10 or 11 inch tart tin (25-27cm), with a removable base is best.

    Once you are ready to make the crust, take your pastry from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface.

    Shortcrust pastry rolled out for tart

    Roll it out so that it is large enough to fill your tart tin - remember to leave enough extra on the edges to go up the sides and have a little overhang.

    Tip: bake the tart with an overhang of pastry. You can break this off easily once it is baked and it will give you a neat edge.

    Press it firmly into the tin base and sides. This will help prevent air bubbles when it bakes.

    Now take a fork and prick the base all over - again this will prevent air bubbles.

    Place the tart case on the baking sheet you put in the oven and bake it for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool before adding the filling.

    Tip: You can make the crust the day before and store in an airtight bag or wrapped in plastic wrap on the counter overnight - or in the fridge for several days. This is helpful for dinner parties if you want to get ahead on preparation.

    Pouring chocolate filling into pastry case for chocolate tart

    Once cooled, pour the filling into the pastry case, and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Allow it to cool in the tin.

    Decorate with shaved white chocolate and berries, or pipe on some whipped cream and top with grated chocolate.
