Ingredients
- 200g plain chocolate, melted
- 50g plain flour
- 4 eggs
- 75g butter, melted
- 100g golden caster sugar
- Cocoa, for dusting
- 375g plain flour
- Pinch of salt
- 165g cold butter cubed
- 90ml cold water
- or 500g shortcrust pastry pack rolled to a thickness of a 20p piece
- 200g caster sugar
- 100g chopped hazelnuts
- 1/2 tsp Cornish Sea Salt
Method
- Make the pastry if you are using homemade pastry – Put the flour, salt and the cubes of butter in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Using a knife, stir in the cold water to bind the dough together. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for 10-15 minutes before using.
- Line a 23cm tart tin with pastry and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to prevent shrinking, and heat the oven to 180C/160C/gas 4.
- Bake the pastry blind for 15 minutes, then take the paper out and bake for a further five minutes.
- Next, mix ¾ of the melted chocolate with the eggs, butter, sugar, and flour. Pour into the pastry case, then bake for 8-10 minutes until just set. Decorate with remaining chocolate and dust with cocoa.
- For the caramel:
- Add the sugar to a large non-stick pan on medium heat and cook until the sugar turns to a light, golden caramel. Do not stir, but jiggle the pan now and then.
- Once the caramel has formed, stir in the chopped hazelnuts.
- Finally, pour the mix onto a silicon mat and leave to cool for an hour. Roughly chop the nutty caramel and sprinkle over the tart to serve. Alternatively, try topping it with Cornish Sea Salt
- Enjoy!
