Nutella Tart

This Nutella Tart is just THEBOMB. This is best eaten chilled and I can't understand why I didn't bake it any earlier. This is pretty simple to bake and can be the tart can be baked in advance.. Alternatively, if you're lazy enough, buy a store-bought shortcrust pastry (: This recipe yields 2 5" Nutella Tarts. The reason why I made such a 'huge' quantity is that 1 portion of shortcrust pastry maybe too tough to work with as it is very small in quantity. You may want to halve the recipe and just bake one tart.. but since it's gonna be so good, why not 2? (:

Nutella Tart Recipe

This recipe yields 2 5" tarts

Ingredients:

125g cake flour

1 egg

38g icing sugar

63g salted butter (room temp)

240g nutella

1000g whipping cream for nutella cream

25g whipping cream for topping

 

Steps:

Have the butter in a mixing bowl. Add the sifted icing sugar into the bowl.

Cream the two ingredients till well combined.

Add the egg in.

Mix well!

Add in the flour in 2 additions and mix well.

You should get something like this.

Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap/cling wrap and chill for 30 minutes in chiller to allow dough to firm up.

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius. I used a tart pan with removable base. My dough has been set. Have some plain flour/cake flour handy.. Dust your hand and work surface with the dough before rolling the dough that has been halved. Alternatively, halve the dough and pinch the dough into the tart pan, ensuring that it is as even as possible.

Completed!

Poke holes on the tart bottom to prevent pastry from 'rising' when baking. Alternatively, you can opt to do bind baking. Chill the dough in the fridge for 5 minutes to allow it to set. This is optional.

Bake the tart for 20 minutes or till the sides are lightly brown. Set aside to cool.

Whip up the whipping cream for the nutella cream.

Add the nutella into the whipped cream.

Mix well! (:

Scoop the nutella cream into the tart base.

Whip up the rest of the whipping cream and pipe onto the Nutella Tart. Chill for at least 30 minutes before consuming so that it's nice and cold!

Enjoy this awesome Nutella Tart! (:
