Ingredients for the Cream and Chocolate Tart
Before we dive into the process, let's gather all the ingredients needed for this divine tart:
- 200g of digestive biscuits
- 100g of melted butter
- 1 liter of milk
- 200g of sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla-flavored custard mix (approximately 130g)
- 200g of dark chocolate
- 150ml of heavy cream
Step-by-Step Recipe
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let's move on to the preparation process:
1. Preparing the Biscuit Base
First, we'll prepare the base of the tart:
- Crush the digestive biscuits in the Thermomix. Use speed 5 for about 10 seconds, until they are finely ground.
- Add the melted butter to the crushed biscuits and mix on speed 3 for 5 seconds, or until well combined.
- Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a tart tin, ensuring an even layer. Place it in the fridge to set while we prepare the filling.
2. Making the Vanilla Custard
Next, we'll make the creamy custard layer:
- Pour the milk and sugar into the Thermomix. Heat the mixture for 7 minutes at 90°C on speed 2.
- Add the vanilla-flavored custard mix and blend for another 5 minutes at 90°C on speed 4.
- Once thickened, pour the custard over the biscuit base and refrigerate until set.
3. Preparing the Chocolate Layer
The final layer is rich and chocolatey:
- Place the dark chocolate and heavy cream in the Thermomix bowl. Heat for 5 minutes at 50°C on speed 2 until the chocolate melts and combines with the cream.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the custard layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serving and Enjoying the Tart
Once your tart is set:
- Remove it from the fridge and carefully take the tart out of the tin.
- Cut into slices and serve chilled.
- Enjoy the creamy, chocolatey delight with friends and family.
Tips for a Perfect Cream and Chocolate Tart
To ensure your tart turns out perfectly:
- Make sure to crush the biscuits finely for a smooth base.
- Heat the custard mixture slowly to avoid lumps.
- Ensure the chocolate is completely melted before pouring over the custard layer.
