Chocolate Tart
July 10, 2015
I love the movie Haute Cuisine about Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch who worked in the Élysée Palace as the private chef to French President Francois Mitterrand. Mitterand wanted a chef from the country in the palace to create the kind of food his grandmother would make. The president wanted something other than haute cuisine. This tart is should be called Chocolate Coffee Tart because the coffee plays and equal part in this tart. If the dough is to crumbly, press it into a shallow tart pan with your hands. This recipe actually made 2 tarts. The photo does not do it justice!
