How To Make dark chocolate cinnamon truffle tart
-
1Crust: In food processor, combine flour, sugar, cocoa and butter; pulse until fine crumbs. Drizzle in cream; process until dough clumps together.
-
2Squeeze dough, by handfuls, into a ball and press into 10-inch (25 cm) tart pan with removable bottom. Prick all over with a fork; refrigerate for 15 min or until chilled.
-
3Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Bake tart shell for about 25 min or until firm. Let cool in pan on a rack for 10 min.
-
4Filling: In a saucepan, heat cream and cinnamon over medium heat just until steaming; remove from heat. In a heatproof bowl, whisk eggs to blend.
-
5Gradually whisk in about half of the hot cream in a thin stream; whisk egg mixture back into pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 min (do not boil).
-
6Remove from heat; stir in chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into tart shell. Chill until set, about 2 hrs. (Can be covered loosely and refrigerated for up to 1 day)
