Instructions
- 1Prepare the chocolate pastry dough: beat butter, a pinch of salt, cocoa powder, and icing sugar together until smooth; add the egg yolks and beat again; fold in the plain flour until a cohesive dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in cling film, and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- 2Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to an even thickness, then transfer it to a perforated tart ring placed on a perforated baking tray. Freeze the assembled shell for about 30 minutes to firm it up. Bake the crust at 320°F for 25 minutes, remove, brush with an egg wash, then bake a second time at 320°F for another 25 minutes until golden. Allow the crust to cool completely.
- 3Make the caramel base: in one saucepan, combine milk, cream, and glucose and heat gently. In a second saucepan, melt sugar with a little extra glucose; add orange zest and miso if using, and simmer gently. Deglaze the caramel mixture with hot cream, whisk in butter and salt, and cook for about 1 minute. Blend until smooth, then let the caramel cool for 15 minutes. Pour the caramel into the cooled tart shell and refrigerate briefly to set.
- 4Prepare the baked chocolate filling: melt butter and chocolate together in a heat‑proof jug, then pour hot cream over the mixture and let it sit until fully melted. Whisk in eggs, egg yolks, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour this filling over the set caramel base and bake at 320°F until the center just barely jiggles, about 30 minutes. Cool the tart completely.
- 5Finish the tart: spread a thin layer of melted dark chocolate ganache over the cooled filling. Pipe decorative ribbons of melted white chocolate mixed with mascarpone cream, and garnish with shards of tempered chocolate. Refrigerate briefly to set the decorations before serving.
