    Today I’m going to show you the dark side of my kitchen…. the side where chocolate, caramel and Baileys rule. Feel the dark side of the power. Don’t afraid you should feel. Understand you will soon the dark side. Muharrrrharrr…. (I know I mixed up Darth and Yoda, but that’s ok for now)

    I know – I say weird things sometimes. Hope you don’t mind. I have to let it out from time to time and interpretive dance is something I am not good at, so this is the only way possible ;P

    Anyways – I have a super delicious chocolate tart for you today. With caramel. I guess there are actually not many words needed when you look at the pictures – they tell you the whole story. And hopefully make you drool….

    I wanted to make a chocolate tart for quite some time already, but only chocolate sounded a bit boring to be honest. So add something to it? Caramel goes pretty well with chocolate. But I have seen chocolate tarts with caramel everywhere already… well, let’s give it a little oomph and we are good to go: Baileys!

    I bought a spread for bread and bread rolls the other day – caramel with Baileys. It was soo delicious! I guess you can imagine, what is coming now…. exactly – I liked the idea of the Baileys caramel, so I decided to make that myself and use it for the chocolate tarte. Baboom! Best idea ever! :D

    This recipe comes with a warning though… this tart is some heavy stuff – chocolate wise and calorie wise ;) I recommend to give out only small slices – otherwise the dark force will come over you…. :P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add the flour, ground almonds, cocoa powder, sugar and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the cold butter in small pieces and toss, so it is covered completely with the flour mixture. Cut the butter with a pastry cutter or knife into pea-size pieces. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix in, add water if needed, one tablespoon at a time. It’s best to work with your hands and work quick, so the butter is not getting too warm. The dough is good as soon as it starts sticking together. Form a ball, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slightly grease a 9 inch (23cm) tart tin with loose bottom. Roll out the dough on a floured surface slightly bigger than the tin. Transfer the dough into that tin and press to the bottom and sides to get a nice crust. Cut off overlapping dough and place in the fridge for another 15 minutes.

    3. Place a sheet of baking parchment on top of the dough and fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the crust for 15 minutes, remove the baking beans and bake 10-12 minutes more. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely.

    4. For the caramel add the sugar and water to a saucepan and heat up. Cook the mix over medium-high heat without stirring until the sugar has dissolved and it starts to caramelize – that takes a while, but be careful not to burn it. As soon as it starts getting an amber color reduce the heat and add the cream – be careful it will bubble a lot. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the Baileys and mix in. Remove from the heat and add the butter and salt – stir until smooth. Pour the caramel into the pre-baked crust and let cool down. When cooled, place in the fridge for about 4 hours.

    5. For the ganache chop the chocolate coarsely and add to a bowl. Add the heavy cream to a saucepan and heat up. As soon as it starts to boil, pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for couple minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour the ganache on top of the caramel layer and smooth out the top. Place in the fridge for another 2 hours. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt before serving.

    1. Das Mehl mit den gemahlenen Mandeln, Kakao, Zucker und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und vermischen. Die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und im Mehl wälzen, bis sie komplett damit bedeckt ist. Die Butter mit einem Teigmischer oder Messer in erbsengroße Stücke teilen. Das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles mit den Fingern zerreiben, falls notwendig noch Wasser esslöffelweise zugeben, bis die Masse anfängt zusammenzukleben. Man sollte hier schnell arbeiten, damit die Butter nicht zu warm wird. Eine Kugel formen, plattdrücken und dann in Klarsichtfolie einpacken und für mindestens 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 23cm (9 inch) Tarteform mit Hebeboden einfetten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche etwas größer als die Form ausrollen. Den Teig in die Form legen und fertdrücken, überlappenden Teig abschneiden und die Form noch einmal 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    3. Die Tarte mit Backpapier auslegen und mit Backbohnen befüllen. Den Tarteboden für ca. 15 Minuten blindbacken, dann das Papier und die Bohnen entfernen und für weitere 10-12 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und komplett abkühlen lassen.

    4. Für das Karamell den Zucker und das Wasser in einen Topf geben und erwärmen. Die Mischung bei mittlerer Hitzezufuhr ohne Rühren (!) kochen lassen, bis sich der Zucker aufgelöst hat und die Mischung anfängt zu karamellisieren – das dauert ein Weilchen, trotzdem aufpassen, dass nichts anbrennt! Sobald die Mischung eine Bernsteinfarbe bekommen hat, die Sahne zugeben – vorsicht, es wird sehr aufschäumen. Alles gut verrühren, bis eine dickflüssige Masse entstanden ist. Den Baileys zugeben und ebenfalls unterrühren. Vom Herd nehmen und die Butter und das Salz zugeben und unterrühren, bis die Masse glatt ist. Die Karamellsoße auf den vorgebackenen Boden giessen und etwas abkühlen lassen, dann für etwa 4 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    5. Für die Ganache die Schokolade grob hacken und in eine Schüssel geben. Die Sahne in einen Topf geben und erzitzen. Sobald sie anfängt zu köcheln, über die Schokolade giessen und für ein paar Minuten stehen lassen, dann glattrühren. Die Ganache auf die Karamellschicht giessen und glätten. Für weitere 2 Stunden in den Kühlschran stellen. Wenn die Tarte fest ist, mit etwas Meersalz bestreuen und servieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
