Chocolate Tart Dough is a variant of the classic shortcrust pastry. I experimented with various recipes and in the end I was able to find the perfect Chocolate Tart Dough with a small modification! Crunchy, suitable for pies and biscuits and with a very rich cocoa taste and aroma!
Chocolate Tart Dough
The Chocolate Tart Dough is suitable for preparing pies, tarts but also crunchy or stuffed biscuits. To accentuate the cocoa flavour I added dark bitter cocoa and the result is a really fragrant and rich pastry. At the time of kneading it may be a bit dry compared to the classic shortcrust pastry, but don’t worry and because of the cocoa, it will be enough to knead it a little more to mix it perfectly. Let it rest for at least an hour in the fridge, and then work it according to your needs.
For optimal cooking, after lining the pan, keep it in the fridge before cooking. If you need to cook it with a filling, first dedicate to the pastry and put it in the fridge, then prepare the filling.
If you cook naked, or without a filling, remember to make a few holes with a fork in the bottom and use special weights or chickpeas or beans so that it does not swell. At the time of cooking, the house is showered with a delicious scent! I used it to prepare some tarts with chocolate ganache, and they were a real success, try it, and you won’t be able to do without it!
