Happy Easter

While the kids hunt the garden for hidden Easter treats and unwrap brightly coloured chocolate filled eggs, we’ve got the perfect recipe for an adults only Easter indulgence that’s easy to make yet beautifully rich in flavour.

When we think Easter, we think dark, rich chocolate, roasted nuts, rich caramels, candied peel and creamy liqueurs. Here we share one of our favourite chocolate tart recipes that blends the perfect amount of chocolate with beautifully flavoured liqueurs.  

Like our guru Stephanie Alexander says, the only way to enjoy chocolate is by having not too much, not too often and only the very best quality.

Enjoy and Happy Easter from all of us here at Katering.

Easter chocolate tarts

12 x 10cm ready made tartlet shells

1 ¼ cups thickened cream

225g good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped

2 eggs, beaten

12 mini easter eggs

Gold leaf

Double cream to serve

Preheat oven to 160C. Place the tartlet shells on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just comes to the boil. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and well combined. Place the eggs in large jug, gradually whisk in the melted cream. Pour into the tartlet shells and bake for 10-12 minutes or until just set. Sit an easter egg on top and set aside to cool. Top with gold leaf.

Spike your cream with 2 tablespoons Kahlua or Frangelico for an adults only treat.
