Ingredients

Crust:

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup + 2 tbsp castor sugar

3 eggs

4 ½ cups flour

Method:

Cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time followed by flour. Roll the dough into balls and wrap in a cling wrap. Leave to chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours before rolling enough quantity to fit in a 20cm tart pan. Pierce all around with a fork and bake for 25 minutes until golden.

Filling:

8 oz plain chocolate, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp butter, softened

¾ cup heavy cream, whipped with 2 tbsp powder sugar to soft peaks

3 tbsp toasted blanched almonds

Directions

Heat the heavy cream until simmering and pour over the chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth, add the butter and stir again. Leave to cool completely until thickened, stirring occasionally. Fill a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle with the chocolate mixture.

Fill another piping bag fitted with a similar nozzle with the whipped cream. Place the two bags in a larger one together and pipe in a circular shape over the cooled crust. Garnish with toasted almonds. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

This is so beautiful and I imagine the taste to be nothing other than, for lack of a better word, simply delicious! It looks so light! I have never seen double piping before and you make it look so easy!
I must try my hand at making this one.
Thank you so much!! Rated a 5 "why-aren't-there-6???" forks! :)

I could give a 5 with my eyes closed, even before looking at the pictures or reading the recipe - It's an Ahmed! Ahmed will be soon used in the dictionary as a word for dessert perfection.

How luscious looking! I will make this over the weekend for special quests, but I will not tell them so I can eat it up myself if I wish.
You do not do anything that is not perfect...thank you, my dear friend.
