Summerhill Dairy, Goat Milk 32 Fl Oz

 

This is a gluten-free chocolate tart, is also egg-free. The recipe requires 30 minutes to an hour preparation time, approximately 30 minutes cooking time, and serves 8.

 

Ingredients:

 

• 12 fluid oz. goat milk
• 4 oz. dairy-free margarine or butter (goat)
• 3½ oz. gram flour and /3½ oz rice or potato flour, or 7 oz. gluten-free and wheat-free
  flour
• 1 level teaspoon xanthan gum (available in Amazon stores and in some
  supermarkets)
• 1 fluid oz. cold water
• ½ oz. corn flour
• 3 oz. dark dairy-free chocolate; 70% cocoa solids minimum
• 2 tablespoons Cointreau, Grand Marnier or brandy
• 3 ripe pears

 

 

Directions:

 

• Sift the flour or flours with the xanthan gum into the bowl of a food processor.
• Cut the margarine or butter into the flour and blend it until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add the water and blend again; if it looks dry, add a little more water. Blend until the dough forms a ball.
• Remove from the processor, wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Pre-heat the oven to 350 °F.
• Remove the pastry from the fridge. Roll it out onto a well-floured board and line 8-9in loose-bottomed flan tin. The pastry will be quite soft, so you may need to patch any bits that tear. Line the pastry with greaseproof paper and weight with baking beans.
• Bake for 15 minutes then remove the beans and paper and bake for a further 10 minutes to crisp the pastry. Cool.
• Meanwhile, gradually mix the milk into the corn flour and heat slowly, stirring continually until it thickens. Cook for a minute or two then remove from the heat.
• Break up 2½ oz. of the chocolate and add it to the corn flour mix, stirring until it is all melted.
• Stir in the liqueur or brandy.
• Quarter the pears, core and peel them and arrange them, pointed side to the middle, in the flan dish.
• Spoon the chocolate sauce over the pears and allow to cool entirely.
• Grate over the remaining chocolate before serving.
