INGREDIENTS
For the pastry:
170 g (6 oz) flour;
150 g (5 oz) sugar;
1 egg;
150 g (5 oz butter), room temp;
30 g (1 oz) cocoa powder;
1 tsp baking powder;
a pinch of salt;

For the chocolate cream:
50 g (1.7 oz sugar);
2 egg yolks;
15 g (0.5 oz) flour;
1 tsp cornstarch;

200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, melted;
130 ml (4.5 oz) cream.
METHOD
- Start with the pastry by combining all of the dry ingredients and then adding butter and egg.
- Mix everything by hand until uniform, then cover and set aside for 1 hour.
- To make pastry cream whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale. Add cornstarch, vanilla and flour, then mix again until smooth.
- Pour hot milk into the yolk mixture slowly, while whisking constantly. Transfer the mixture on a low heat and cook, whisking nonstop, until thickens.
- Combine melted chocolate with warm cream and add into the yolk and milk base. Cover and set aside to cool slightly.
