Tart with ruby chocolate

I will be glad to help you prepare a Tart with Ruby Chocolate. Ruby chocolate is a type of chocolate characterized by its natural pink color and a taste that is said to be a mix between fruity and slightly tart. This makes it a fascinating ingredient for creating a dessert with an original touch and a refined taste.

Ingredients

• 300 g of type 00 flour
• 150 g of cold butter, cubed
• 100 g of icing sugar
• 1 whole egg
• 1 egg yolk
• A pinch of salt
• Grated zest of 1 untreated lemon
• 200 g of Ruby chocolate
• 100 ml of fresh cream

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and cold butter, working them with your fingertips until you get a mixture resembling coarse sand.
2. Add the icing sugar, pinch of salt, and grated lemon zest. Mix well the dry ingredients.
3. Create a well and add the whole egg and the yolk in the center. Work all the ingredients quickly until you have a smooth dough.
4. Form a ball with the dough, wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 4-5 mm thick and use it to line a buttered tart mold.
6. Prick the bottom of the dough with the tines of a fork and bake blind in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.
7. In the meantime, prepare the Ruby chocolate ganache. Heat the cream without bringing it to a boil and then pour it over the chopped Ruby chocolate, letting it melt for a few minutes. Then mix until you get a smooth and shiny cream.
8. Pour the ganache over the cooled tart base and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

For decoration, you can use berries, edible flowers, or a dusting of icing sugar, which pleasantly contrast with the bold color of the Ruby chocolate.
