Chocolate is amazingly versatile, and goes great with spices! Have a go at my spicy chocolate tart, inspired by the West Indies. Recipe is below! Happy Throw Back Thursday!!!

Ingredients:
Shortcrust pastry base:
3 tbsp icing sugar
75g unsalted butter
2 egg yolks
100g plain flour

Chocolate filling:
125g double cream
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
1 vanilla pod, sliced in half
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
25g sugar syrup
150g dark chocolate
35g unsalted butter

Syrup:
50ml milk
125g unsalted butter
50g sugar syrup
150g caster sugar
150g grue

Method:
Shortcrust pastry base:
1. Put the butter, icing sugar and egg yolks into a bowl and mix together. Add in the flour and mix well.

2. Put the pastry into the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.

3. Roll out the pastry gently and lift onto a tartlet tin.

4. Prick with a fork and cook blind for 12-15 minutes at 180C.

Chocolate filling:
1. Combine double cream, cinnamon, star anise, vanilla, nutmeg, sugar syrup and bring to a gentle simmer.

2.Let it infuse for 10 minutes and then pour it over the chocolate using a sieve.

3. When the mixture is lukewarm add the butter gently with a wooden spoon without over mixing.

4. Fill the pastry shell and leave to set in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Syrup & nougatine:
1. In a pan heat up the milk, butter, sugar syrup and caster sugar, and bring to the boil.

2. Add the “grue” and mix well.

3. Pour the mixture on a silicone paper or matt line baking tray.

4. Cook at 180C until it turns a nice caramel colour.

5. When the nougatine start to cool down you will be able to cut it with a sharp knife or mould it with your hand.

6. When cold add the nougatine decoration on top of the tart and finish it with some cinnamon stick, star anise, grue and gold leaf.

Happy Baking!! E xxx
