Ingredients
For the tart:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch tart shell
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 cup demerara sugar
- 1/4 cup flaked almonds
For the pastry:
- 1 1/4 cups plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
To make the tart shell, start by combining the flour, salt, and butter in a large bowl. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the cold water and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Roll out the pastry to fit a 9-inch tart tin. Place the pastry in the tin and press it into the edges. Prick the base with a fork. Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking beans and paper and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
To make the filling, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the orange zest. Pour the mixture into the cooled tart shell and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and flaked almonds. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool before serving. Enjoy!
