Leffe Brune Chocolate Tarts

Serves 12

Ingredients

For the pastry:

• 2 cups + 2 tbsp flour
• 2 sticks + 1 tbsp butter (soft)
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg

For the filling:

• 14 oz dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa solids)
• 1 stick + 6 tbsp butter
• 5 egg yolks
• 3 whole eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3.5 oz LEFFE BRUNE

Method

Preheat oven to 350°. Put pastry ingredients into a food processor until mixture forms into a ball. Knead until smooth. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Lightly flour a work surface and roll pastry as thinly as possible. Lightly butter a 12" w x 1" deep pan and lay pastry inside. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit inside the pan and place on pastry. Add enough rice or dry beans to cover the surface of the pastry and bake. After 15 minutes, remove rice or dry beans and parchment and continue to bake for 5 minutes.

Break up chocolate, butter and place in heat-proof bowl with Leffe Brown. Place pan over simmering water and melt. When melted, remove from heat and stir. Whisk egg yolks, eggs and sugar until smooth. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Pour into the pastry, turn oven to 300° and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Refrigerate overnight.
