Chocolate Berry Tart

If you have a loose-bottom cake tin use it to make this tart. The pecan crust will crisp up beautifully and complement the tart perfectly.
Chocolate Berry Tart

You Will Need:

Pecan Crust
  • 1 cup (100 g) pecan nuts
  • 11 tennis biscuits
  • 4 T (60 ml) soft brown sugar
  • ½ t (2,5 ml) ground cinnamon
  • 5 T (75 ml) melted butter
Berry Garnish
  • raspberries or a mixture of berries
Mousse Filling
  • 1 cup (250 ml) boiling water
  • 1 x 310 g Ina Paarman's Chocolate Mousse Mix
  • 1 cup (250 ml) fresh cream

Ina’s Tip

Make it a day or two before needed. Tent with cling film and refrigerate. Top with berries on the day.

Method:

Pecan Crust Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 170 °C. Chop the pecan nuts and biscuits in a food processor until finely crumbed.

Add the sugar, cinnamon and melted butter.

Process until well blended.

Press the mixture onto the base and up the sides of a 22 cm loose-bottomed flan tin.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden and crispy. Leave to cool and firm in the freezer.

Mousse Filling Measure the boiling water into a medium size mixing bowl.

Sprinkle the Chocolate Mousse Mix over and beat until well blended and beginning to thicken (± 3 min).

Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool down to room temperature.

In a smaller mixing bowl whip the cream until soft peak stage.

Beat half of the whipped cream into the mousse then fold in the remaining cream with a spatula until well blended.

Pour filling onto the cooled pecan crust.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Release the tart from the rim of the loose-bottomed pan and place it on a cake stand.

Pile the raspberries on top of the mousse.
