Categories     dessert

Time 8h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 14-ounce package chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons salted butter
12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
4 ounces white chocolate
2 teaspoons coconut oil

Steps:

  • For the crust: Add the cookies to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse together. Tip into an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom and press the mixture in with a 1/4-cup measure to form an even crust on the bottom and sides. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
  • For the ganache: Put the cream and butter in a pan and heat until the mixture starts to bubble.
  • Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl and pour the warmed cream and butter over it. Mix everything together until melted and fully combined, then pour it into the chilled tart base. Refrigerate the tart overnight until set.
  • For the chocolate curl garnish: Put the white chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl and set over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate is melted; mix together. Pour the melted mixture onto the underside of a clean baking sheet and spread it in a very thin layer with an offset spatula or knife. Put it in the freezer until set, about 2 minutes. (To check if it is set, press it with your fingertip; it should leave the slightest mark but not a depression.)
  • Using a sharp-edged spatula, scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the baking sheet into curls. Remove the tart from the pan and decorate with the curls.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups cranberries, thawed if frozen
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons almond liqueur, such as Amaretto (or use more milk)

Steps:

  • Make the sugared cranberries: Bring 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Put the cranberries in a large bowl and pour the sugar syrup over them; let sit 1 hour. Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar with the cardamom in a large bowl. Drain the cranberries, add to the spiced sugar and toss to coat. Spread the cranberries and sugar on a rimmed baking sheet. Let sit, rerolling the cranberries in the sugar occasionally until dry, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Coat the parchment with cooking spray. Whisk the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice and cardamom in a large bowl; set aside. Put the cocoa powder in a separate large bowl. Heat 1 cup water in a small saucepan until almost simmering; pour over the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Set aside until slightly cooled, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to the cocoa mixture and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until just combined. Add the granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla; beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture, then increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans; lightly tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then invert the cakes onto the rack to cool completely. Remove the parchment. (The cake layers can be made 1 day ahead; let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap.)
  • Make the frosting: Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until just combined. Add the vanilla and almond extracts; increase the mixer speed to high and beat, scraping down the side of the bowl, until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and almond liqueur; beat until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Halve 1/2 cup of the sugared cranberries. Place one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Spread with 1 cup frosting, then sprinkle with the halved cranberries. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Top with the remaining sugared cranberries.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy ganache, use high-quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate for the ganache.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is simmering but not boiling when you add it to the chocolate.
  • Stir the ganache constantly until it is smooth and glossy.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it onto the tart crust.
  • If the ganache is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
  • For a more intense cranberry flavor, use dried cranberries that have been soaked in orange juice or liqueur.
  • Candied cranberries can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • To make the tart ahead of time, bake the crust and ganache according to the recipe. Allow the tart to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, bring the tart to room temperature for about an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

This chocolate tart with candied cranberries is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich and creamy ganache pairs perfectly with the tart cranberries, and the flaky crust adds a perfect finishing touch. With a little planning, this tart can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts or hostesses.
