Be ready. You will need strawberries. You will need whipped cream. You will need willpower. It's a miracle this lasted in our fridge for more than several hours. It's one of those desserts that you portion out carefully after dinner because you certainly don't want to "over do it"….and by the morning, somehow, mysteriously, there is far less left in the fridge. The strawberries and cream really just serve to break through the rich, creamy, ganache like filling and the buttery chocolate base. Drool.
Chocolate Dream Tart
Base
250g chocolate biscuits
125g butter, melted
Line a spring-form pan with baking paper and butter. In a food processor, process the biscuits until they are fine crumbs then mix through the melted butter. Press the mixture in to the base of the pan and allow to set in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Filling
250g dark chocolate
1/3 cup thickened cream
125g butter, chopped
2 eggs
3 egg yolks (preserve the whites for a pavlova!)
1/3 cup white sugar
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
Place the chocolate, cream and butter in a meltproof bowl and place over a pan of boiling water. Mix until the chocolate and butter are melted and combined.
Gradually mix the chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Pour on top of the biscuit base and bake for 15 minutes or until top is starting to set. Allow to cool and then refrigerate until set through.
