The Baking Chin Ep 2: "Chocolate Ganache Tart"

Hello! This week, we're making a chocolate ganache tart! From the length of the movie, it might seem like it is not so easy to do. Keep in mind, that this video shows how to make the pastry for tart and all the other processes! :D If you use, say, a pre-baked pie crust or some other pre-prepared pastry and just make the ganache, this tart can be achieved in little to no time! :')

CHOCOLATE GANACHE TART:
Pastry -
375g/2 1/4 cups flour
150g/1 cup sugar
1 pinch ground vanilla or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4g/1 teaspoon baking powder
225g/2 sticks butter
Bake at 350F/175C.
Filling -
350g/2cups chocolate (Dark is better)
350g/1 3/4 cups cream
40g/1 tablespoon honey
Optional: Orange/Citrus zest

TIP: Add about 2 tbsp butter to help stabilize if you are worried about it not setting in time... Beware, though, it will not be as shiny. Also, it is good to store this tart in the freezer! :3

Happy Baking!~

I love your show!!! The opening is so fun, and I love your kitchen it looks great on camera. I'm so happy that you're back making shows. I like all the little facts you give us about cooking, I wish I could crack eggs like that, but I'm very shell-phobic.

[bakingchin]

@LadyYumYumShow It's not too hard! I just try to "not have fear" and quickly crack it on the board. Usually I don't get shells, but if I do, I usually pick them out. If I accidentally miss a small piece of shell, I figure that any germs that live through 350 degrees deserve to live! :P

@atticus9799 I got mine from NYC, but I think I misquoted it in the video. It's called "vanille en poudre" in French, which is "vanilla powder" but I think in this country it's called "ground vanilla"! You can get it from Amazon too. I think "Bakto Flavors" has a good version of it! : ) It taste almost just like vanilla bean! :D It's what we used in pastry school. Also, it's good to store this in the freezer, to keep it firmer!

Ian, Love the video! I love your style and your nostalgic theme. It reminds me of our beloved, dear Julia. I am going to make this tart, my family will love it! Question, where do you procure your vanilla powder?  Thanks! Noreen : )
