Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Filling
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 pounds semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For Crust:
  • Butter 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Sift all purpose flour, powdered sugar, cake flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Add butter. Using fingers, rub in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg. Stir until moist clumps form. Gather into ball. Flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; freeze 10 minutes.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer dough to prepared pan. Press dough gently into pan. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick sides. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Reduce crust until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool crust completely.
  • For filling:
  • Combine cream, butter and sugar in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts, sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and both extracts. Stir until mixture is smooth. Pour 1 cup filling into heavy small saucepan and reserve for glaze. Pour remaining filling into large bowl. Chill until thickened but still spreadable, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Whisk cold filling just until color lightens, about 2 minutes. Spoon into crust. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir reserved 1 cup filling over low heat until just lukewarm. Spread over filling in crust to glaze tart. Chill until glaze sets, about 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.) Serve cold.

I had some trouble getting the tart crust to set properly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I would use less sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but I thought this tart was still really good. The chocolate filling was rich and decadent, and the mint flavor was subtle. The crust was also very good.

This chocolate mint tart was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of chocolate and mint is always a winner, and the tart crust was the perfect base for the creamy filling. I will definitely be making this again.
