Salted Chocolate Cheesecake Tart

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a 23cm tart pan with a removable bottom.

2. 2

   Make the crust by combining flour, sugar, and baking powder in a medium bowl.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Press the crust mixture into the prepared tart pan and bake for 15 minutes.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the crust to prevent it from overbrowning.

4. 4

   Make the cheesecake mixture by beating the cream cheese and eggs until smooth.

   Tip: Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

5. 5

   Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.

   Tip: Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding it to the cheesecake mixture.

6. 6

   Combine the melted chocolate with the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Pour the cheesecake mixture into the baked tart crust.

7. 7

   Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Let the tart cool completely in the pan before refrigerating.

8. 8

   Dust the tart with granulated sugar and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

   Tip: Cut into slices and serve chilled.

9. 9

   Drizzle with a little milk to loosen the filling and create a smooth surface.

   Tip: Optional, but helps the cheesecake to set properly.
