How to make Dulce de Leche and Chocolate Tart

Prepare the crust

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, previously sifted. Add the sugar and cold butter, and use a fork to work the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.

  2. Step 2

    Add the egg yolks and milk to the mixture and integrate everything until you achieve a smooth dough.

  3. Step 3

    Line a 24 cm (9.5-inch) tart pan with the dough and prick the base with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Bake the crust

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Bake the tart crust for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Add the filling

  1. Step 1

    Using a pastry bag with a plain tip, pipe the pastry-grade dulce de leche onto the tart, forming medium-sized peaks.

Cover with chocolate

    Melt the chocolate coating in a double boiler (bain-marie) and pour it over the tart to cover the dulce de leche peaks.
