Chocolate Ganache

Method

Pastry

  • To make the pastry, process flour, cocoa, icing sugar and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and water and pulse until just combined. Press the dough together into a ball, flatten into a disk, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes
  • Divide dough into 10-12 even portions. Roll out each portion until 3mm thick. Line a 2cm deep 7cm fluted flan tin, with removable base, with the pastry and trim excess. Repeat with remaining pastry, re-rolling any excess pastry, if necessary. Place tins on a baking tray and chill in freezer for 30 minutes
  • Cover each pastry shell with baking paper and fill with pastry weights. Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes. Remove weights and paper and bake for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through and try to the touch. Cool completely

Caramel

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Spoon caramel evenly over each pastry case. Cool

Chocolate Ganache

  • To make the chocolate ganache, place chocolate and cream in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted.
  • Pour over the caramel. Refrigerate to set
  • Remove tarts from fridge 30 minutes before serving, and sprinkle with extra sea salt

Tips & Hints:

  • If sea salt is unavailable, just add table salt to the caramel only. Pastry can be made ahead and frozen, for up to a month. Pastry tart cases can be cooked ahead of time and refrigerated overnight.
