Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart

November 4, 2010 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 30 Comments

Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart ~ A chocolate lover’s dream. The deep dark chocolate flavor in this dessert is delivered in a smooth body with a chocolate tart shell that perfectly crumbles and compliments each bite.

Chocolate Truffle Tart

Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart

If you haven’t noticed, let me tell you – I love chocolate. I never really noticed how many desserts I make that incorporate it until my friend Ingrid of 3B’s alluded to it in a comment.

Her love for chocolate runs as deep as my son’s love for peas, which is about one to two peas deep. So while I was planning and making this my first thought was of Ingrid and how she will probably sigh and say, “Another chocolate recipe”?

Yep, another one, Ingrid.  Can we still be friends, even if I’m being a bit of a tease by immortalizing your dislike for chocolate in a dessert? And while this is a Alice Medrich recipe, I have endearingly renamed it Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart.

So if you had to be immortalized into any chocolate dessert, it should be this one. This is my go to chocolate tart when I need a pure and simple chocolate dessert. It’s fast and easy and I challenge you to find one that tastes better.

A few notes:

  • Make sure to use a high quality chocolate for the filling portion since it is the star of this dessert.
  • The original recipe calls for a 9 ½ inch round tart pan, but I used a 14×4 inch rectangular tart pan instead.
  • Use a needle or the sharp point of a knife to pierce any bubbles that may appear from pouring the chocolate into the crust or they will show up once it sets.
  • The crust can be made and refrigerated three days in advance. The completed tart can be made and kept refrigerated 2 days in advance.

Chocolate Truffle Tart for Ingrid

Ingredients:

Tart:

  • 10 oz. bittersweet chocolate cut into small pieces
  • 1 ¼ cups of heavy cream
  • 9 ½ in. Chocolate Tart Shell, baked and cooled (recipe follows)

Chocolate Tart Shell:

  • 3 oz. unsalted butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour

Instructions:

Tart:

  1. Place chocolate in a heat proof bowl; set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately pour hot cream over chocolate; let stand for 30 seconds.
  3. Stir gently just until chocolate melts completely and mixture is smooth. Pour chocolate mixture through a fine strainer directly over baked tart shell.
  4. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, until set.
  5. Remove finished tart from refrigerator at least 45 minutes before serving to soften filling.

Chocolate Tart Shell:

  1. Add butter, sugar, vanilla and salt in a food processor bowl. Pulse until mixture is creamy. Add cocoa powder and process until mixture is a dark, smooth paste. Add flour and pulse until just incorporated and resembles wet sand.
  2. Transfer dough to plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes. Tart shell can be completed to this point up to 3 days in ahead or frozen for up to 6 months.
  3. Remove chilled dough; let stand for 20-30 minutes. Roll out dough between two pieces of plastic to 1/8 inch thickness. Peel away top plastic sheet; pick up by bottom sheet and invert the dough and then evenly press it into the pan.
  4. Cover and refrigerate tart shell for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prick bottom of tart shell with a fork. Bake for 12- 14 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

    Oh my gosh .. that looks so fantastic! I absolutely loooooooooveeeeeeee chocolate!
    Hubby and me will go to the grocery store on saturday – I guess I will go ahaed and by all I need (two celebrations with tons of cakes have lead to a shortage of heavy cream in my house) and then make them asap.
    But I guess I will not make one single tart, but fill my muffin pan with 12 little tarts 😉
    Like .. super snack size 🙂
    Thx for the inspiration – I am really looking forward to that!

    I do concede that while I’m not the BIGGEST chocolate lover, I appreciate it in truly decadent desserts such as this. I mean, this isn’t just chocolate – it’s a masterpiece.

    Ingrid and I have a lot in common – not huge chocolate fans and I think she dislikes raisins as much as I do….but I could be confused! Another beautiful dessert.

    LOL, oh my goodness! I have the stupidiest silliest grin on my face!

    You’ve left me no choice, Naomi. A dessert named after myself? I obviously have to give this a try chocolate or not.

    Thank you!

    I can’t blame you for your excessive use of chocolate – everything tastes better with it, in my world anyway! 😛 This looks gorgeous. I would do anything to be your neighbour!

    Ha! I’m sure Ingrid will appreciate this, because when someones names a tart after you, you simply can’t not make it for yourself. Ingrid’s going to bake with chocolate!! Yayy!!! That tart looks sinful 🙂

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined.

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
