CHOCOLATE ORANGE TART



Chocolate Orange Tart image

This tart is super easy, yet delicious-a great recipe for experienced and beginner bakers alike. This tart has a sophisticated, nuanced flavor thanks to the orange zest and orange liqueur. And the silky chocolate filling is just divine and accented by flaky sea salt. When I want to spend more time cozying up to the fireplace than to the oven, I take a few shortcuts with my baking. The crust is a festive blend of crushed gingersnaps and butter. Crushed chocolate wafer cookies would also work just fine. Get fancy with the toppings. I added flaky sea salt. Raspberries are also a perfect match with anything chocolate and a little dusting of cocoa powder will never steer you wrong. You can even add candied orange peel. Whatever you do, just have fun with it!

Time 5h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

25 gingersnap cookies
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional)
Zest of 1 orange
Flaky sea salt
Candied orange peel
Cocoa powder
Raspberries
Whipped cream
Chocolate curls

Steps:

  • To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse the cookies in a food processor until pulverized, completely fine and broken down to about 1 1/2 cups. Add the brown sugar and melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are wet and sand-like. Remove from the food processor and press the crumbs evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, ideally with a removable bottom. Reserve any leftover crumbs for another use.
  • Bake for 9 minutes. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
  • To make the filling: Add the chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Bring the heavy cream and butter to just simmering in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute. Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until melted and smooth. If the chocolate isn't completely melted, heat in the microwave for several seconds and stir, until melted. Stir in the orange liqueur and orange zest. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
  • Refrigerate the tart at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve, then remove the tart from the pan and top with flaky sea salt, orange zest, cocoa powder or raspberries, if desired. You can also top with whipped cream or chocolate curls.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
3 1/4 cups (20 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
3 extra-large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (4 ounces) chopped walnuts
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Grease and flour a 9-inch tart pan with removable sides. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a bowl set over simmering water. Add 2 cups of the chocolate chips, remove from the heat, and stir until the chocolate melts. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, coffee, and vanilla on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cooled chocolate. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the walnuts. Fold the flour mixture into the batter until just combined. Pour into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is puffed (the top may crack). The inside will still be very soft. Cool to room temperature before removing the sides of the tart pan.
  • Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips with the heavy cream and drizzle on the tart.
