Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Gather all required baking tools.
- Melt 6 tbsp butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl or in a small pan over low heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together 1 measured cup plus 2 tbsp flour, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 4 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl.
- Add melted butter, then stir to combine until mixture is crumbly but holds together when squeezed.
- Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan. Pat dough into the bottom of the dish and about 1/2-inch up the sides. (TIP: Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to help smooth down the bottom.)
- Place dish on an unlined baking sheet. Prick pastry crust all over bottom and sides with a fork.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 18-20 min, until no longer shiny and dry to the touch.
- Remove crust from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, add chocolate chips to a medium bowl.
- Add half the cream to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Immediately pour cream over chocolate chips and let stand for 1 min.
- Whisk carefully until smooth. Whisk in 3 tbsp brown sugar, honey, egg and 1/4 tsp salt unti smooth.
- Scrape chocolate mixture into crust, then spread evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 15-22 minutes, until the edges are set with a slight wobble in the centre.
- Remove dish from the oven and place in the fridge for 2 hours, until fully cooled.
- TIP: The tart can be made the night before to be enjoyed the next day!
- Before serving, add remaining cream to a large bowl. Beat using an electric hand mixer for 1-3 min, until stiff peaks form.
- Dust surface of the tart with remaining cocoa powder, then cut into desired number of slices.
- Dollop whipped cream over top.
