Forest fruits tart

A mouth-watering chocolate-covered tart, garnished with fresh berries and the sweet hint of our berry oil that will satisfy all your guests. 

ingredients

  •  120 g dark chocolate
  • 100 ml of Consoli berry oil
  • 95 g sugar
  • 3 g baking powder
  • 3 Eggs
  • 100 g 00 flour 

 

For the ganache :

  • 250 g milk chocolate
  • 200 g fresh liquid cream 

To decorate :

  • Berries to taste.


To prepare the soft chocolate tart start by chopping the dark chocolate , put it in a bowl and melt it in the microwave ; just operate it a few seconds at a time and stir the chocolate as you go so it does not burn. Alternatively, you can melt it in a bain-marie.

Add the oil to the berries and stir vigorously so that the oil is completely blended together with the chocolate.

 

Keep the chocolate aside and move on to whipping the eggs, adding the sugar a little at a time. It will take about 10 minutes to obtain a light and puffy mixture. At this point also combine the chocolate and oil mixture. Continue to process the mixture at medium speed. Insert flour together with baking powder and as soon as you have obtained an even mixture transfer it to the 28-cm mold on the surface and 24-cm mold at the base, previously buttered and floured. Level the surface and bake in a static oven preheated to 180° for 30 minutes.

 

Once the cake is cooked (always do the toothpick test) take it out of the oven, let it cool then invert it onto a serving plate. Gently lift out the mold, let it cool and in the meantime prepare the ganache cream. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and heat until it comes close to a boil. Meanwhile, finely chop the milk chocolate and transfer it to a bowl. As soon as the cream is hot pour some into the chocolate and stir. Then add the remaining cream in two more times and continue stirring gently until the mixture is smooth but without incorporating air Let it cool a few minutes until the ganache is no longer runny but has thickened.

Then transfer it to the cake cavity and spread it over the entire surface. Let it firm up in the refrigerator until the ganache has solidified. Only then can you decorate with berries and serve your soft chocolate tart.
