Terry's Chocolate Orange Tart



Need I say more? 
This is the dessert I made for Christmas dinner, inspired entirely by my family's stockings. We alwaaaays  get the delicious chocolate oranges, so I used a half milk and half dark one. 

If you like the combination of chocolate and orange and are in the mood for something decadent, this is the tart for you. 
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
Cream butter and sugar, stir in vanilla and flour and press into a tart pan. Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • 1 Terry's Chocolate Orange (I used half milk and half dark)
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/6 cup sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 egg yolk
Bring sugar, cream and milk to a boil and pour over chopped chocolate (in a bowl). Whisk egg and yolk in a bowl and slowly pour hot cream and chocolate over (while whisking). Pour into baked tart shell and bake at 325 F for 20-30 minutes until set.

Chill for an hour!
