Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups biscuit crumbs (Choose your favorite biscuits for added flavor)
- 1 cup melted salted butter
For the Filling:
- 2 cups fresh cream
- 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee (Use a good-quality instant coffee for robust flavor)
- 1 cup melted chocolate (Dark or semi-sweet chocolate works well)
- 1/4 cup cream (for cornflour slurry)
- 4 tbsp cornflour (for cornflour slurry)
For Decoration (Optional):
- Meringue (for eggless version)
- Nuts (Pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts for added crunch)
- Whipped cream (Freshly whipped cream for a light and airy texture)
- Praline (Crushed caramelized nuts for a sweet and nutty touch)
Instructions:
Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of biscuit crumbs with the melted salted butter.
- Choose biscuits that complement the overall flavor profile you desire.
- Transfer the biscuit and butter mixture into a 9-inch round tart pan, ensuring an even distribution.
- Using the back of a spoon, firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and up the sides to form a uniform crust.
- Place the tart pan in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes or until the crust sets properly.
Filling:
- In a saucepan set over medium heat, warm 2 cups of fresh cream until it reaches a gentle simmer.
- While the cream is heating, in a small bowl, create a cornflour slurry by mixing 1/4 cup of cream with 4 tbsp of cornflour. Set this thick paste aside.
- Add 1 1/2 tsp of instant coffee to the simmering cream and stir to infuse the coffee flavor.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the cream-coffee mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Introduce the cornflour slurry into the chocolate-coffee-cream mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Continue to cook the filling until it comes to a gentle boil, allowing it to thicken to the desired consistency.
- Once thickened, remove the filling from heat and promptly pour it into the chilled tart crust, ensuring an even spread.
Decoration:
- Depending on your preference, decorate the tart with your choice of toppings:
- Sprinkle nuts (pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts) for added texture and flavor.
- Dollop freshly whipped cream for a light and airy contrast.
- Generously spread praline over the tart for a sweet and nutty crunch.
- If opting for the meringue decoration, spread it evenly over the chilled tart, creating peaks with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the completed tart for an additional 1-2 hours to allow the toppings to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled slices of this delightful no-bake eggless coffee chocolate tart, savoring the rich combination of coffee and chocolate in every bite.
