Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Tart Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3–5 tablespoons ice water
  • For the Chocolate Mousse Filling:
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Cadbury Flake Topping:
  • 4 Cadbury Flake bars, crumbled

Instructions

  • Making the Tart Crust:
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
  • Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender (or a food processor), cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The colder the butter, the flakier the crust!
  • Add Ice Water: Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Form the Dough: Gently form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a tender crust.
  • Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.
  • Transfer to Tart Pan: Carefully transfer the dough to your tart pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim off any excess dough.
  • Pre-Bake the Crust: Dock the bottom of the crust with a fork (this prevents it from puffing up). Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
  • Remove Weights and Bake Again: Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Let the crust cool completely before filling.
  • Making the Chocolate Mousse Filling:
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water), melt the chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip!
  • Separate Eggs: Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into separate bowls.
  • Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  • Combine Chocolate and Egg Yolks: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture!
  • Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until everything is evenly combined.
  • Assembling Your Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart:
  • Pour in the Mousse: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Chill: Cover the tart with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
  • Add the Flake Topping: Just before serving, crumble the Cadbury Flake bars and sprinkle them generously over the top of the mousse. This adds a delightful textural contrast and enhances the chocolate flavor.

Notes

  • Keep Ingredients Cold: Especially for the crust, cold butter and ice water are key to a flaky, tender crust.
  • Don’t Overmix the Crust: Overmixing develops gluten, which can result in a tough crust. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Dock the Crust: Piercing the bottom of the crust with a fork prevents it from puffing up during baking.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of the chocolate will significantly impact the flavor of the mousse. Use good-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Be Gentle When Folding: When folding in the egg whites and whipped cream, be gentle to avoid deflating the mousse.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Allowing the mousse to chill completely is essential for achieving the right consistency.
