• 100g caster sugar

Method

• Grease and flour a 9” round loose-bottom tart tin and set aside.
• For the pastry, into the bowl of the Kenwood Go stand mixer, fitted with the kBeater, cream the butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes until soft and creamy.
• To this add the flour, cocoa, pistachios, and salt and mix slowly to form a crumbly mixture.
• Add enough milk to form a soft dough.
• Wrap & chill for 20 mins.
• Roll the rested dough on a floured work surface and line the tart tin.
• Please note, this dough is crumbly, so if it breaks, it's ok to press the dough up the side of the tin or to repair cracks.
• Chill for 10 minutes, while you preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
• Line the rested tart with parchment and fill with baking beans and blind bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the beans and allow the tart to cool.
• To make the pistachio paste, into the Kenwood MultiPro Go Food Processor, add the pistachios and sugar and blitz until fine, then add the melted coconut oil and mix to form a paste. Set aside.
• For the chocolate filling, heat the milk and cream in a saucepan.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl and pour over the hot milk and cream, leave to sit for 3-4 minutes.
• Whisk to combine the melted chocolate and cream mixture and add to the eggs and whisk through. Strain into a jug.
• To assemble the tart, spread the pistachio paste onto the base of the tart and slowly pour over the milk chocolate mixture.
• Place in the preheated oven set at 170C/150C fan and bake for 40-45 minutes.
• Once this time is up, the tart will still have a slight wobble in the middle, and that’s ok.
• Remove and allow to rest for 10 minutes before placing in the fridge to cool completely.
• Once fully cold, remove from the tin and garnish with some chopped pistachios and serve.
