For this showstopping topping, we used a mixture of white-, dark- and caramel chocolate.
Triple chocolate tart
Serves 6
Ingredients
250g Romany Creams
⅓ cup (80g) melted butter
2 slabs (300g) dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups (500ml) chocolate mousse
For the topping
1 cup (150g) white chocolate, chopped
1 cup (150g) dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup (150g) caramel chocolate, chopped
3 Tbsp (45ml) milk
Method
- Blitz biscuits in a food process or until fine. Add melted butter and stir to combine.
- Grease and line a 22cm springform tin.
- Press crumb mixture into the base of the tin (make it even using the back of a spoon or a glass with a flat bottom.)
- Melt chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature – watch that it doesn’t set again.
- Mix mousse into cooled chocolate.
- Spoon chocolate mixture onto biscuit base, smoothing out with the back of a spoon. Place in fridge to set for 40 minutes.
- For topping, place each chopped chocolate in three chopped chocolate in three separate bowls, add 1 Tbsp milk to each bowl and melt until smooth using the microwave or a double-boiler.
- Cool slightly before pouring ¼ cup in the centre of the tart, starting with the dark chocolate, then caramel and milk chocolate in concentric rings.
- Refrigerate tart for at least 30 minutes to set the topping.
- Slice using a hot knife and serve.
