Today was the second challenge for the Tuesdays With Dorie. I made the chocolate dough in my 4 cup food processor which was working at full capacity but it gave the dough a lovely texture. The dough was difficult to work with as it was quite crumbly around the edges. In my younger days, I would not have had the patience to work with this dough. Lots of patching. I used a rectangular tart pan rather than the small tart pans as I thought that size would be too large for this rich dessert. The filling was easy to assemble. I used Callebaut milk and white chocolate plus purchased the ladyfingers. I had a small slice with a cup of tea for my dessert. It looked beautiful however I think a garnish was necessary. Perhaps a flavoured whip cream or a fruit coulis of some sort. I found the creaminess of the chocolate bits inside to be distracting. My filling may have been undercooked. There was a slight “egginess” to it, I felt. I cooked it for the full time and it was set when I tested it but I think next time I would increase the cooking time slightly. What I loved about today’s challenge was that I used a food processor for the pastry. Previously I would have made it by hand but I really liked the texture of the dough. I think I will invest in a larger food processor.

I ended up using my 4 cup processor also, it worked out good, but I had to add an additional tbsp of water for the dough to come together. It was a rich recipe, we found that some whipped cream really made it come together!
My dough did not come together in the food processor so I dumped out onto the counter and kneaded it together. Normally I would have done the same thing as you bought I thought I should try to stick to the recipe for this one.
Your tart looks delicious…I was afraid of undercooking mine too so I added about 5 minutes. It wasn’t dry just more like a brownie. 🙂
I thought it needed some whipped cream or ice cream also, just to cut through all the chocolate-ness!
I made the dough by hand and it worked out well, although it still did not come together. Although at first I questioned the dough, what really brought it together was the chilling. Once it came out of the fridge it was fine (I did have to patch a little bit).
I also had to play with the dough a bit – I think there is a better written version of this recipe in Baking From My Home to Yours, Works every time! Glad you made it through, and thanks for baking along with us this week!
I definitely was glad I used the food processor to make the dough – it made life a little simpler…
The cream or the fruit would definitely be a great idea.
