Instructions
Step 1
To make shortbread dough, combine baking powder, salt and flour in a bowl or on a table, then make this mixture look like a slide, make a depression in the center and add sugar, softened butter, previously cut into small pieces, and egg yolk. Knead the dough. Add a little water if necessary and continue kneading the dough. Form a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let sit for an hour.
Step 2
Prepare the chocolate filling. Heat milk and cream in a large saucepan. Chop the dark chocolate into large chunks, or break it and add to the saucepan. The chocolate should melt. When the mixture cools a little, beat in 2 eggs, stir until smooth.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 200C. A baking dish with a diameter of 23-24 cm, grease with butter. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, place in a mold, be sure to form high sides and bake for 15-20 minutes. When the pastries are slightly browned, remove from the oven and let cool.
Step 4
Pour the chocolate mass onto the shortbread crust (for this, the sides were needed) and bake for 5-10 minutes. Take the tart out of the oven, the center of the chocolate mass may be watery, it's okay, when the tart cools down, the chocolate mass hardens. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve well chilled.
