This Tarte is perfect for fall: we are making a crunchy dough with ground nuts, creamy chocolate whipped ganache, and top our Tarte with plums. I also created a rose pattern to make it even prettier! If you haven't make whipped ganache before, I will explain it to you before we jump to the recipe.
Ganache is a cream based on chocolate and cream. This makes it melt in your mouth and -gosh- it's so incredibly creamy! For a whipped ganache you just beat your ganache up until it's light and fluffy so you can easily fill it into your Tarte dough.
So let's get started!
RECIPE:
For the Tarte dough:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour ( 400g)
- 1 cup sugar (200g)
- 1 cup butter (225g)
- 1 cup ground almonds (100g)
- Vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- Start by mixing butter and sugar until combined
- Add the eggs, and flour, ground almonds, and vanilla
- Knead until you get a well-combined dough
- Put your dough into the fridge for 30 minutes
For the whipped ganache filling:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup/ 6 ounces dark chocolate (150g)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream (119g)
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces and put them into a bowl.
- Heat your whipping cream until you can see little bubbles and pour it over your chocolate chunks
- Stir until the chocolate is melted completely.
- Put your ganache into the fridge and stir every 10 minutes until you reach a thickened consistency (like Nutella)
- With a hand mixer, mix start beating your ganache until it gets lighter in color and fluffier.
Final steps:
Ingredients:
- 5-6 plums
- Fill your Tarte dough with the ganache
- Wash the plums, then remove the center and cut them into very thin slices. Half them, so you get a half circle
- Start by putting some plums in the middle of your Tarte, then put the rest very close to each other until the whole Tarte is decorated with plums. The pattern should look like a rose (you can see it in the picture below).
