Baked Chocolate Tart


5 oz unsalted butter
5 1/2 oz best quality cooking chocolate, (70 percent cocoa solids)

Recipe

Baked Chocolate Tart
Place the butter, chocolate, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow to melt slowly, stirring occasionally until well mixed.


In a separate bowl beat the eggs and sugar together until light and well creamed, and then add the golden syrup and sour cream or cr�me fraiche.


Stir the chocolate mixture into this mixture, scraping all the chocolate out with a spatula. Once you�ve mixed it well, pour it into the pastry shell.


Place into a preheated 150C/300 degree F/Gas 2 oven for 40 to 45 minutes. During cooking a beautiful crust will form on top.


Carefully remove the tart from the oven and allow to cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes, during which time the skin will crack and the filling will shrink slightly.
