Cook with Tea! Chocolate and Oolong Tea Tart

Dark Chocolate and Oolong Tea Tart

Oolong tea, or blue-green tea, is a semi-oxidized tea that offers a rich and complex aromatic palette; its character varies according to its oxidation rate, indicated as a percentage. To bring out the full power of dark chocolate aromas, while reducing its bitterness, choose an Oolong tea oxidized to 45% or more. The tea's woody, chestnut, and stewed fruit notes will reveal all the magic of this gourmet pairing at Teatime! This month, the epicurean @professiondefoie made a chocolate tart for our greatest pleasure!

The ingredients of the chocolate recipe!

For the sweet pastry:

  • 125g of flour
  • 75g of butter
  • 50g of sugar
  • 15g of almond powder
  • 1 beaten egg

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 25g of Oolong tea from Fujian Province "Wuyi Qi Lan" from "un air de thé" infused for 5 minutes or 40g for 3 minutes
  • 300g of liquid cream
  • 100g of milk
  • 300g of dark chocolate
  • 1 sheet of gelatin

The steps of the tea recipe!

  • Sweet pastry

Cream the butter and mix it with the sugar. Beat with the egg. Add the flour mixture, almond powder, and a pinch of salt. Beat everything in spurts until it forms a ball, then let it rest for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough and prick it with a fork. Bake for about 30 minutes at 180°C.

  • The Ganache

Rehydrate the gelatin sheet in a bowl of water. Combine the cream and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Infuse the tea off the heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a strainer and stir in the chocolate. Let the mixture cool. Mix and add the gelatin sheet. Beat two egg whites until stiff, then fold them in.

  • The chocolate pie!

Remove the tart base from the oven. Pour the ganache over the tart base and finish cooking in the previously turned-off oven for 5 minutes.

Enjoy once the chocolate tart has cooled!
