Chocolate




Every year, at work, we are having a christmas fayre and the staff association get a stall where they sell cakes. Anyone can bake something or buy the bakings and the money collected goes to a charity.
This year I've baked chocolate tarts.

Here is the recipe:
pastry:
225g plain flour
100g icing sugar
25g Van Houten (unsweetened pure cocoa powder)
1 egg
125g butter
All the ingedients must be at room temperature. Mix them all quickly. Roll out the pastry and bake it, with baking beans, for 20-25 min at 180 degre C.


Chocolate cream:
100g dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
100 ml single cream
Heat the cream with the chocolate gently until they are mixed. Spread the cream on the cooked pastry (don't forgot to remove the baking beans...;0)).

Et voila ! Bon appetit !
