Down-Under Chocolate Fudge Tart recipe

Directions Down-Under Chocolate Fudge Tart

Directions

1. Combine flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar in a food processor, process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water and process until a dough forms. Add more cold water if necessary. Remove dough from food processor and mold into 2 flat shapes, you can use the extra one another time. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

2. Butter a 9-inch flan pan. Roll 1 portion of dough out to a 9-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Line the prepared pan with the pastry. Cover pastry in the pan with a layer of aluminum foil and fill the foil with raw rice.

3. Pre-bake pastry in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove rice and foil and continue baking until pastry is a light golden color, 3 to 8 minutes more. Remove from oven, leaving oven on.

4. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave oven until melted, 3 to 5 minutes, mixing after each minute.

5. Combine sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl and add to the melted chocolate. Stir well and pour mixture into the baked pastry crust.

6. Bake tart in the hot oven for 20 minutes, filling will still be runny and will set upon cooling.

7. Allow tart to cool slightly and serve with whipped cream.
