Please read the recipe before you start baking, some of the ingredients are not necessary, the cocoa and dark chocolate is for only if you want the chocolaty cream for your tart. Also you can chose to add or not add the butter too. I like to use organic ingredients in all my baking. I like this tart because of low sugar and it is not very sweet and the taste is natural and fruity. You can use this tart dough for puff pastry and the French patisserie or Custard cream in many different pastries. Also you can use the custard cream to stick your cake layers. Also I like to thanks my friend to show me how to make this. Bon Appetite.
