Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolk to the butter mixture and mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  6. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
  7. Spread the orange marmalade evenly over the cooled crust, then pour the chocolate mixture over the marmalade, spreading it into an even layer.
  8. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set.
  9. For the whipped cream, whip the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Serve slices of tart with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a more intense orange flavor, add a tablespoon of orange zest to the chocolate filling before pouring it into the tart shell.

To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider using orange zest and a splash of orange liqueur in the chocolate filling. This adds an extra dimension to the tart. If you’re short on time, pre-made tart shells can be a great shortcut.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. The tart is best enjoyed within the first two days for optimal texture. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds if you’d like to enjoy the chocolate warm.
