Ingredients

For the shortcrust pastry:

160 g soft butter
120 g sugar
1 egg (size M)
1 egg yolk (size M)
330 g KOMEKO KNUSPERLUST
0.25 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt

For the filling:

200 g dark chocolate, chopped
100 g sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
40 g KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK
30 g soft butter
250 g milk

Preparation

Prepare the dough:
Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time and mix well. Add KOMEKO KNUSPERLUST, the baking soda, and salt, and knead into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 2 hours.
Make the filling:
Melt chocolate, sugar, cinnamon and KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Stir in butter in small pieces, then slowly stir in milk until the mixture is creamy and thickened. Refrigerate the filling for at least 1 hour.
Assemble & bake:
Divide the dough in half and roll out into two 24 cm circles. Place one circle in the tart pan. Cut out stars or other shapes from the second circle. Spread the chocolate filling on the base, place the top circle on top, and press the edges together. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan oven) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 150°C and bake for another 30 minutes.
