Description
Tarta de Castañas y Chocolate is an irresistible dessert combining the rich flavors of chestnuts and chocolate, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chestnut puree
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chestnut puree, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the chestnut mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tart pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the tart to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add 1/4 cup of brewed espresso to the chocolate mixture.
- Top the tart with whipped cream or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
