You will need
- FOR THE PASTRY
- 210g plain Gluten Free flour blend
- 80g icing sugar
- 24g Food Thoughts Organic Cocoa Powder
- ½ tsp xanthan gum
- ¼ tsp salt
- 85g cold butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- FOR THE FILLING
- 160g orange juice
- 150g granulated sugar
- zest of 3 oranges
- 250g Food Thoughts Luxury Dark Chocolate Chips
- 300ml double cream
Method
FOR THE PASTRY Whisk together the dry ingredients. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until you get a mixture resembling breadcrumbs. Add the egg and mix until the dough starts coming together. Knead until smooth. Roll out to about 3mm thin, transfer into a 9 inch (23cm) loose-bottom tart tin and trim away the excess. Chill for 30 minutes.
Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C) with a baking sheet on the middle rack. Dock the bottom of the pastry with a fork, line with parchment paper & fill with pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the paper & weights, and bake for 8-10 minutes longer. Cool completely.
FOR THE FILLING In a saucepan, cook the orange juice, sugar & orange zest over medium-high heat with occasional stirring until thickened and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to about 45C.
Pour hot cream over the dark chocolate chips & stir into a smooth ganache. Pour in the slightly cooled orange syrup & stir until smooth. Chill in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.
Spoon the filling mixture into the pastry shell and smooth it out into an even layer. Create swirls on top & sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Share or not share, we know you love it ❤️️
