Category: Tarts

6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
6 tbsp confectioners sugar
5 egg yolks
5 whole eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cake flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 lb 10 oz chocolate, finely chopped
1 quart heavy cream

Cream together butter and sugar. In stages, add 2 egg yolks and 1 egg to butter mixture until fully combined. Being careful not to over mix, add flours and cocoa powder. Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper, then turn mixture out over the parchment paper. Cover mixture with another sheet of parchment paper and cool in refrigerator.

Once dough has cooled, turn out onto a floured surface. Flour top and use a rolling pin to roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness; cut into a 10 inch tart shell. Butter tart pan and place dough inside. Bake at 350 for 5-7 minutes.

In a saucepan, boil heavy cream; pour over chocolate, then mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and completely melted. While constantly mixing, carefully add 4 eggs and 3 egg yolks. Pour mixture into tart shell and bake at 350 for approximately 5-7 minutes.
