BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE TART WITH COFFEE MASCARPONE CREAM
I had this at a food and wine pairing class with Rosa Regale Banfi Brachetto d'Acqui... it was amazing! Recipe by Francois Payard From Tiramisù Tart, April 2003 Food & Wine Mag. Note the mascarpone cheese is 1/4 cup PLUS 2 tablespoons (not separated). It wouldn't let me put it in that way. All other ingredients that appear twice are separated, for example, one egg might be for the tart shell and the other is for the filling.

Steps:
- MAKE THE TART SHELL: In a food processor, pulse the flour with the confectioners' sugar and salt.
- Add the butter and egg yolk and process until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Pat the dough over the bottom and up the side of the pan in an even layer.
- Refrigerate until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F; line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake the shell for 30 minutes, or until golden around the edge and dry in the center.
- Remove the parchment and weights and cover the rim with foil. Continue to bake the shell for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a rack; let cool.
- MAKE THE FILLING: In a small saucepan, heat the cream with the milk over moderate heat until small bubbles appear around the edges.
- Off the heat, add the chocolate and let stand for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
- Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the egg; the mixture will thicken slightly.
- Set the tart shell on a baking sheet and fill it with the chocolate custard.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until set around the edges, but still very jiggly in the center.
- Transfer the tart to a rack to cool, then refrigerate until chilled.
- MAKE THE TOPPING: In a very small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the coffee extract and cook over low heat just until the gelatin melts; let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream, mascarpone and sugar with an electric mixer until firm peaks form.
- At low speed, scrape the gelatin into the bowl and beat to combine.
- Dollop the cream onto the tart and swirl decoratively.
- Sift the cocoa over the cream.
- Refrigerate the tart until firm before serving.
- NOTES If coffee extract is unavailable dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons of espresso powder in 1 1/2 teaspoons of water.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
- Place a large heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl. Put the butter and chocolate in the bowl, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts. Take the bowl off the heat and set aside.
- First, whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture, then whisk in the eggs, coffee, and salt, whisking until the mixture is combined and smooth. Sprinkle on the flour and fold it in with a rubber spatula until it's incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it on a sheet pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes (see Cook's Note), until the top puffs up and cracks and the cake doesn't wobble when you jiggle the pan. (A toothpick will not come out clean.) Remove from the oven and cool completely on a baking rack. The cake will deflate as it cools. Run a small knife around the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Cut the cake in wedges and serve warm or at room temperature with sweetened whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or crème fraîche.
