Chocolate Roasted Orange Tart Recipes

CHOCOLATE ROASTED-ORANGE TART

Steps:

• Make the tart shell: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla to combine, scraping down side of bowl if needed. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with cream and beginning and ending with flour mixture. Shape dough into a disk, and refrigerate, wrapped in plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough to a little less than 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edge flush with top edge of pan. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes. Prick bottom all over with a fork, and bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Let shell cool in pan on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the roasted oranges: Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Leaving peel on, cut 4 oranges into 1/4-inch rounds, and arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/4 cup juice over oranges, cover tightly with parchment, then foil, and cook until peel is tender, about 2 hours, adding 1/4 cup juice every 30 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Remove foil and parchment, and sprinkle oranges with granulated sugar. Add remaining 1/4 cup juice, and roast oranges for 15 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water, and roast until slightly golden and dry, 2 to 3 minutes more. Cool completely.
• Make the filling: Finely grate zest from remaining orange, about 1 1/2 teaspoons, and stir together with mascarpone and confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Spread filling in tart shell, and arrange roasted oranges on top, overlapping slightly.

FRENCH CHOCOLATE ORANGE TRUFFLE TART

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
• Using a pastry cutter, large-tined fork, or a food processor on pulse setting, cut the chilled butter into the flour until it resembles coarse sand with a few pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
• Sprinkle the cold water onto the mixture and mix gently a few times, just until it forms a ball that holds together.
• Separate the dough into 2 balls, flatten slightly into thick disk shapes, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for a few hours before working with it.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Roll and trim the dough to make a circle large enough to fit a 10-inch fluted tart pan.
• Fit the circle into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

• Remove the pie weights and bake the shell for an additional 5 minutes.
• Set aside the pastry shell, still in the tart pan, to cool.

• Remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate, Grand Marnier, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is completely incorporated.
• Whisk a small amount of the hot chocolate cream into the beaten eggs.
• Transfer the tempered egg mixture back into the hot chocolate cream and whisk the mixture until it is smooth.
• Pour the orange chocolate filling into the prepared pastry and bake at 375 F for 18 to 25 minutes, until most of the filling is set and only the center jiggles slightly when the tart is moved.
• Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove the tart ring and chill the tart in the refrigerator before serving.

• Slice oranges into thin rounds.
• Make a simple syrup by cooking water together with sugar in a wide pot.
• Once sugar dissolves, poach the oranges in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pot. Poach the oranges until translucent and set them aside to dry on a cake rack.
• Mix the kumquat jam with enough poaching liquid to loosen it so it is easily brush-able. Brush oranges with the glaze and let dry on the rack.
• Once dry, arrange the slices over the set ganache in a pretty pattern.
