Ingredients
Dark Chocolate Cream
1/2 cup (105 g) sugar
1/4 cup (35 g) cornstarch
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) milk
1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% whipping cream
7 oz (200 g) 70% dark chocolate, chopped
Vanilla Whipped Cream
2 tsp gelatin
2 tbsp (30 ml) cold water
2 cups (500 ml) 35% whipping cream
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped or 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
Blackberry Compote
1 1/4 cups (175 g) fresh blackberries or raspberries, halved
3 tbsp sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) lemon juice
Puff Pastry
2 sheets (200 g each) store-bought puff pastry, thawed, cold
3 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp sugar
Topping
1 1/4 cups (175 g) fresh blackberries or raspberries, halved if large
Preparation
Dark Chocolate Cream
In a pot off the heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the eggs and mix well. Whisk in the milk and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, just until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream. Let cool. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set and completely chilled. The chocolate cream will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
Vanilla Whipped Cream
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
In a small pot over medium heat, bring the cream, sugar, vanilla pod and seeds to a boil while stirring. Remove from the heat.
Add the gelatin mixture and whisk until completely dissolved. Transfer to another bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream. Let cool. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set and completely chilled. The whipped cream will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
Blackberry Compote
In a small pot, bring the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil. Simmer gently until the fruit has broken down and the cooking liquid is thick and syrupy, stirring a few times during cooking, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a third bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the compote. Let cool. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely chilled. The compote will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
Puff Pastry
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 18 x 13-inch (46 x 33 cm) baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
On a floured work surface, stack the two sheets of puff pastry on top of each other and roll out to form an 18 x 13-inch (46 x 33 cm) rectangle. Using a pastry brush, cover the surface of the dough with half of the melted butter and sprinkle with half of the sugar. Place the dough on the baking sheet, sugar-side down.
Brush the other side of the dough with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Place a piece of parchment paper over the dough and cover with a second baking sheet.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from the oven. Remove the top baking sheet. Let the puff pastry cool completely on the bottom baking sheet, about 30 minutes. The dough will keep for 3 days at room temperature.
Assembly
On a work surface, using a breadknife, cut off the edges of the puff pastry to straighten them out. Cut the pastry into two long strips.
Stir the dark chocolate cream with a spatula until creamy and smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch (1 cm) star tip.
Remove and compost the vanilla pod from the whipped cream. Whisk the cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Transfer to another pastry bag fitted with a ½-inch (1 cm) star tip. Refrigerate.
Place one strip of puff pastry on a large serving dish. Cover with rosettes of chocolate cream, piping randomly over the puff pastry. Place the blackberry compote down the centre of the chocolate cream, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border all the way around. Top with half of the fresh blackberries.
Top the tart with the second strip of puff pastry, pressing down lightly. Cover with rosettes of whipped cream, piping randomly over the puff pastry. Garnish with the remaining blackberries. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. The puff pastry tart will keep for 2 days in the refrigerator.
