How many Townies do you want to bake?

The Townie is the perfect fusion of two classics: the buttery, delicate tart and the moist brownie. With a creamy chocolate filling, crunchy nuts, and a hint of espresso, this dessert evokes pure happiness.

Ingredients

For the dough:

115 g butter (softened)
150 g KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK
55 g powdered sugar
20 g ground almonds
1 pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 egg (size M)

For the filling:

270 g dark chocolate coating
170 g crème fraîche
0.5 Cup Strong Espresso
55 g butter
Mixed nuts (roughly chopped)
Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Preparation

Prepare the dough:
Knead KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK, butter, powdered sugar, almonds, salt, vanilla sugar, and egg into a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and chill for about 1 hour.
Bake the bottom:
Preheat oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Grease 15 cm tart pans. Divide the dough into thirds, roll out, and place in the pans, pressing the edges together and trimming off any excess dough. Prick the bases with a fork and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Then let cool and remove from the pan.
Prepare the filling:
Melt the chocolate coating, crème fraîche, and espresso over low heat while stirring. Gradually stir in the butter until a smooth cream forms. Add the nuts and divide the mixture between the three tarts.
Cool:
Refrigerate the tarts for at least 2 hours. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Serve and enjoy: Bon appetit!
