Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Optional: use a baking stone for an extra crispy crust.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the dough comes together.
Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingertips for best results.
- 3
Press the dough into a 23cm tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill for 10 minutes.
Tip: Use a gentle pressing motion to avoid compacting the dough.
- 4
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
- 5
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Tip: Don't let the milk boil, or it will curdle.
- 6
In a separate saucepan, heat the dulce de leche over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 110°C.
Tip: Be careful not to burn the dulce de leche.
- 7
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
Tip: This will help create a smooth, chocolatey filling.

Pour the dulce de leche into the cooled tart crust.
Tip: Use a spatula to spread it evenly, if necessary.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the dulce de leche. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
