While it requires some effort to prepare, it is well worth it, and both kids and adults love it. The key ingredients, chocolate and flour, also offer numerous health benefits. This recipe serves 8 to 10 people and takes about 15 minutes to bake in the oven.

Main Ingredients for Chocolate Tart:

 

For the Dough:

• 1 ½ cups of flour
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 10 tablespoons of cold butter
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or vanilla powder if unavailable)

For the Filling:

• ¼ cup of sugar
• 3 tablespoons of milk
• 1 tablespoon of coffee
• 1 tablespoon of lukewarm water
• 1 teaspoon of plain gelatin
• ½ cup of butter

For the Topping:

• 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon of milk
• 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder

Preparation Method for Chocolate Tart:

1. Preparing the Dough:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Knead the mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk, vanilla, and water, and continue kneading for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and well-formed.

2. Shaping the Dough:
   Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm and use a round cutter to cut circles. Place the dough circles into small tart molds and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Baking the Tarts:
   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Use a fork to prick the bottom of the tart dough and place the molds in the middle rack of the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes until they turn light golden. Once done, set them aside to cool completely.

4. Preparing the Filling:
   In a small saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, and coffee over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Set it aside to cool.
   In a mixer, beat the butter until it becomes fluffy, then slowly add the gelatin to create a well-whipped cream. Refrigerate the mixture.

5. Assembling the Tarts:
   Fill two-thirds of the tart shells with the prepared filling, and smooth the tops with the back of a small spoon.

6. Preparing the Topping:
   Mix the powdered sugar with a little milk until you get a smooth glaze. Spread this glaze over the tarts. Add cocoa powder to the remaining glaze and use it to decorate half of the tarts. Refrigerate the tarts for a while until the topping sets, then serve.

Benefits of Chocolate:

Since this dessert contains chocolate, it offers many health benefits, such as strengthening the heart muscle, stimulating circulation, and relieving depression while promoting happiness. It also significantly reduces stress, leaving you in a better state of mind. Additionally, the flour in the chocolate tart aids in preventing constipation and reducing the risk of colon cancer due to its high soluble fiber content.

Enjoy this indulgent dessert with family or guests!
