Ingredients

Dulce De Leche

1 can condensed milk

Tart Crust

1 ⅓ oz butter
2 ½ tablespoon sugar
pinch of salt
½ large egg
½ cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder

The Chocolate Filling

3 ½ oz milk
7 oz heavy whipping cream
3 ½ oz sugar
1 egg yolk
1 ½ large egg
6 oz 64% chocolate chopped
3 oz 70% chocolate chopped

Instructions

For the Dulce de Leche

Take the label off the can of sweetened condensed milk and place the can into a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the water is about 1 inch above the top of the can.
Bring water to a simmer and continue to cook over low heat for about 4 hours. Continue to refill the water level as necessary.
Once done, set aside to cool.

Tart Crust

Cream butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Slowly add the eggs, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder and add to the butter mixture and beat lightly until combined. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before rolling into ⅛-inch thickness.
Cut dough into rounds and place in 3-inch ring molds.
Preheat oven to 325°
Refrigerate the finished shells for an hour to let the dough rest, then bake for 20 minutes at 325° F.

For the Chocolate Filling

Bring milk, cream and sugar to a scald in a medium sized pot.
Whisk yolks and eggs to combine in a small bowl.
Once the milk is at a scald, pour it over the egg mixture to temper. Be sure to constantly be whisking this so you don’t scramble the eggs.
Stir and return the mixture to the pot to continue to cook over low heat until it reaches 160°F, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, pour over the chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Chill.

To assemble tart

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Fill half of each tart shell with dulce de leche and top with chocolate filling. Bake for 7 minutes.
Chill for about 2 hours once done baking.
