Ingredients:

250 g shortbread or digestive biscuits (Bakers tennis or Eat Sum More)

80g butter, melted

70g muscovado sugar

3/4 cup single cream

300g dark Lindt chocolate, chopped (70% )

1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract

A generous pinch Maldon sea salt flakes (salt isn’t really an ingredient, so we’ll call it free)

200g frosted berries (fresh will also be perfectly fine)

Equipment: Kenwood Stand Mixer with K-beater

 

 

Method

  • Place the biscuits in a food processor and blitz until fine. 
  • Add the melted butter and pulse again to combine. 
  • Empty the crumbs into a 32cm length rectangular, loose bottom tart case. 
  • Press the crumbs firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon and smooth over evenly. Refrigerate to firm up.
  • For the filling, place the muscovado sugar and cream in a small saucepan. 
  • Bring the cream slowly up to the boil, whisking all the while to ensure the sugar crystals dissolve completely. 
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla paste. 
  • Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and whisk thoroughly until the chocolate is silky smooth. 
  • Fill the chilled tart case with the chocolate mixture and refrigerate for several hours until firm.
  • Un-mould the tart and place on a long serving board. 
  • Scatter with the sea salt if you love a salty-sweet combo and pile on the frosted fruit.
