Ingredients
For the multipurpose olive oil dough:
  • 150g (1¾ cups) Plain flour
  • 40ml (1/4 cup) Extra virgin olive oil
  • 75ml (1/3 cup) Warm water
  • 1 Teaspoons yeast powder
For the chocolate cream:
  • 35g (3 ½ tablespoons) Corn flour (corn starch)
  • 70g (1/3 cup) Unrefined dark muscovado sugar
  • 250ml (1 cup) Soya alternative to single cream
  • 125g (4.5 ounces) Dark cooking chocolate 70% cocoa
  • The finely grated zest of 3 organic unwaxed oranges (avoid the bitter white membrane beneath the orange peel)
Instructions
For the multipurpose olive oil dough:
  1. Follow the instructions as explained in my multipurpose olive oil dough recipe but skip the salt.
  2. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  3. Lightly grease with a drop of olive oil a pie pan. Once you have flattened out the multipurpose olive oil dough, press it into the pie pan and pierce the bottom with holes with the help of a fork.
  4. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes at 175 degrees C (350 degrees F) and remove from the heat.
For the chocolate cream:
  1. In a bowl mix the corn flour with the sugar. Once you have mixed them well sift the mix to break up any lump by pushing it through a flour sifter or through a fine strainer.
  2. Pour the mix into a cooking pot. Add the soya alternative to single cream and the dark cooking chocolate. Heat at low temperature and stir the mix constantly for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate is completely melted
  3. Remove from the heat, add the orange zest and mix.
For the final preparation:
  1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  2. Pour the chocolate mix over the previously baked tart dough.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20 min at 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  4. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
