● Cake Flour …… 95g (Note: Your original recipe listed 100g, adjusted to 95g here for perfect consistency)

● Heavy Cream …… 80g
● 75% Dark Chocolate …… 50g (Chopped)

πŸ‘©πŸ³ Baking Steps

⃣ Prep Work
● Soften the butter in advance until it yields easily to a finger press;
● Chop the dark chocolate to ensure it melts smoothly using residual heat;
● No greasing is needed for the CHEFMADE WK9022 pan; its non-stick coating is more than enough.

⃣ Making the Crispy Tart Shell

  1. Add the softened butter, sugar, and salt to a bowl, and whisk until well combined;
  2. Add the room-temperature milk in batches, whisking thoroughly each time to prevent separation;
  3. Sift in the cake flour and use a spatula to cut and fold until the mixture becomes crumbly;
  4. Wearing gloves, gently knead the dough until there are no dry spots (Avoid overworking to prevent gluten development);
  5. Place the dough in a ziplock bag and refrigerate to rest for at least 1 hour;
  6. Roll the rested dough into a circle about 3cm larger in diameter than the WK9022 tart pan;
  7. Lay the dough over the pan and gently press it into the mold to ensure a perfect fit;
  8. Use a fork to prick holes evenly across the bottom to prevent the shell from puffing up during baking;
  9. Bake in a preheated oven (middle rack) at 170℃ (340℉) for about 15 minutes;
  10. Once the surface turns slightly golden, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

⃣ Injecting the Molten Soul
11. Whisk the egg yolk and granulated sugar until well combined;
12. Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Heat on low until the edges start to bubble gently, then immediately remove from heat;
13. Add the chopped 75% dark chocolate to the hot cream, letting the residual heat melt it. Stir until you achieve a silky ganache;
14. Pour the warm molten chocolate into the cooled tart shells (about 80% full). Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.

πŸ’‘ Baker's Pro Tips
● The Secret to Crispiness: Never over-knead the dough. Resting it in the fridge is the soul of this step, ensuring a tender, melt-in-your-mouth crust;
● Temperature Control: Do not let the heavy cream boil. Gentle bubbling is enough; excessive heat will ruin the silky texture of the chocolate;
● How to Serve: After freezing for an hour, the filling will be semi-solid with a "molten" texture, while the shell remains crisp. For an ultimate flowing lava experience, microwave for 10-15 seconds right before eating;
● Level Up Your Serving: Pair with black coffee or black tea. The interplay of bitter and rich flavors makes this the perfect protagonist for a weekend afternoon tea.

Life doesn't always have to be intense.
Sometimes, the richness of chocolate and a hint of caramel's slight bitterness
bring a warmer kind of sweetness.
