That of dark chocolate and coconut with a little extra: the homemade shortbread with praline.
This tart has the advantage of not being too sweet and can be enjoyed at the end of a meal.
1 / Praline shortbread:
- Whisk a whole egg with 100g of sugar until the mixture turns white.
- Add 100g of soft butter in pieces and mix well.
- Then incorporate 200g of flour and 50g of praline.
- Mix the dough well, do not hesitate to put your fingers!
- Form a ball and wrap in cling film.
- Store in a cool place for 1 hour.
- Flour the work surface then roll out the dough.
- Then place it in a buttered and floured mold (family mold or individual tartlet molds).
{to prevent the dough from swelling during its dry cooking, cover it with baking paper and dried vegetables}
- Bake at 175 ° C for 25 minutes.
2 / Topping the pie
- Bring 20cl of light liquid cream to the boil.
- Break 180g of dark chocolate into pieces in a container, and pour in the hot cream.
- Let the chocolate melt to obtain a smooth ganache.
- Meanwhile, soften 2 gelatin sheets in cold water.
- Pour the chocolate ganache on the pie shell.
- Store in a cool place.
- Heat 20cl of coconut milk, 50g of sugar. Remove from heat before boiling.
- Dissolve the drained gelatin leaves in it.
- Add 50g of grated coconut. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, beat 2 egg whites until stiff and incorporate into the coconut cream to obtain a frothy and airy mixture.
- Pour this mousse on the chocolate base of the tart.
- Chill for at least 4 hours (a whole night is better!) And decorate as you see fit!
For my part, I made chocolate decorations on transfer sheets and chocolate shapes using rhodoïd strips.

Hello,
Can I replace gelatin with agar agar? If so, how much should I put in?

Hello Karima, I'm sorry I don't work agar agar I can't help you :( @ soon

The agar agar is perfectly suited, I only use that. 2g of agar = 1 sheet of gelatin. Be careful to let it boil and incorporate the agar for it to set. Stir well also

Hello, I would like to make your pie for our Christmas dessert. We are not a big fan of dark chocolate, is it possible to make milk or white chocolate ganache? Is this going to marry well? can you tell me if it is necessary to change the quantities of chocolate and cream. thanks a lot for your help
Lilie bakery
Hello, yes absolutely, with milk chocolate (pastry) it will go well too :) Try with the same quantities of chocolate, 18cl of cream.

Congratulations on your recipe and your blog. I will try this one as soon as possible!
