Chocolate And Blackberry Tart Creme Brulee Food

CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Place six (8-ounce) ramekins in a roasting pan large enough to hold them completely flat.
• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolks, and sugar until just combined. Meanwhile, scald the cream in a medium saucepan. Off the heat, add the chocolate and espresso and whisk until the chocolate is melted. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk in the coffee liqueur and vanilla. Transfer to a large measuring cup and pour into the prepared ramekins until full.
• Place the pan in the oven and carefully pour enough of the hottest tap water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the custards are set on the edges but still a little jiggly in the middle when gently shaken. Remove the custards from the water bath, cool to room temperature, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm.
• To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly on each custard. With a kitchen blowtorch held one inch from the surface of the creme, heat the sugar until it caramelizes evenly. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Set 6 (6 ounce) ramekins on a baking sheet.

CRèME BRûLéE TART

Steps:

• Make tart shell:
• Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl (or pulse in a food processor). Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse) until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size lumps of butter. Add 3 tablespoons water and stir into flour (or pulse) until incorporated.
• Gently squeeze a small handful of dough: If it doesn't hold together, add water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) after each addition. Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Fit dough into tart pan and fold overhang inward to reinforce side. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork, then line with parchment or foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until edge is pale golden and side is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Carefully remove weights and parchment and bake shell until golden, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Remove tart shell from oven and reduce temperature to 300°F.
• Make filling:
• While shell bakes, split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape seeds into a heavy medium saucepan with tip of a paring knife. Add pod to saucepan with cream and milk. Heat over medium heat until hot, then let steep off heat 30 minutes.
• Whisk together yolks, whole egg, 6 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a quart measuring cup, then whisk into cream mixture until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve back into measuring cup.
• Put tart shell (in pan) in a 4-sided sheet pan. Put in oven, then pour custard into shell. Bake until just set but still slightly wobbly in center, 30 to 35 minutes (custard will continue to set as it cools). Remove tart from sheet pan and cool on a rack 30 minutes. Remove side of pan and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour more.
• Just before serving, sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar evenly over top of tart. Move blowtorch flame evenly back and forth just above top of tart, avoiding crust, until sugar is caramelized and slightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

• Arrange eight 6-ounce ramekins in a roasting pan. Pour custard into ramekins. Pour enough warm water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until custard is firm around the edges, but still wobbly in the center, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Cover ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Remove ramekins from refrigerator and blot any liquid on the surface with a paper towel. Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet. Top each custard with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, spreading evenly to the edges.

BLACKBERRY CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Up to 36 hours ahead - put the split vanilla pod and cream in a heavy saucepan and gently bring to simmering point. Whisk as soon as the first bubbles start to rise, then remove the pan from the heat and leave to infuse for about 20 minutes.
• Fish out a half-pod from the cream and hold it over the pan, then use the tip of a small knife to scrape the black seeds inside into the pan. Repeat with the other pod, then whisk to disperse the seeds.
• Meanwhile,whizz the egg yolks and sugar in a food processor for 2-3 minutes until thick and creamy. Scrape the mixture into the cream and stir to combine. Place the pan over a medium heat and gently whisk constantly until the custard has thickened considerably and is on the point of boiling (when the first few bubbles break through the surface).
• Immediately remove the pan from the heat and plunge the base into a sink of ice-cold water. Continue to gently whisk for 1-2 minutes, or until most of the heat has dissipated. Leave to cool, whisking occasionally to prevent a skin forming.
• Meanwhile, place six little heatproof dishes, about 10cm in diameter and 2.5cm deep (see tip), on a tray that will fit in the fridge. Divide the blackberries among them, then cover with the cool custard and chill until firmly set. Loosely drape with cling film over to cover.
• An hour or so before serving - if you don't have a blow torch to brûlée the custard, use a very hot grill. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over each dish then, if using a blow torch, carefully 'burn' the sugar, starting on the nearest side: the sugar will bubble and turn a dark caramel. Wait for a few minutes for the surface to harden before serving but DO NOT be tempted to touch as the sugar remains blisteringly hot for some while. Alternatively, put the ramekins on a baking sheet close to the grill until the sugar caramelises. Keep them cool until ready to serve, but not in the fridge or the caramel will soften.

Gather dough into ball and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
