The chocolate-blueberry combination is one of my very favorites. Especially when these two materials are combined in a delicious tart, words are unnecessary. This chocolate and blueberry tart is now one of my favorite desserts!
As I said in previous post, I recently visited Berryland and purchased a lot of fresh blueberries. The list of recipes for using them, as you understand, is endless. I did not know from which recipe to begin … In this pie, the combination of chocolate pie dough, rich filling and glistening blueberries is impressive, and really tasty.
I made the pie lighter by adjusting the original recipe, but on the other hand I did not want to escape far from the classic tarts; I think it doesn’t fit in this particular one. I used whole wheat emmer flour on the pie dough. It is a bit sanded this way, but I liked it; it is a little more rustic. The original recipe calls for all-purpose flour, so you can use this instead, but sifted.
What I do every time I make a tart (the experts might scold me now 😉 ) is that, when I make the dough, I firstly roll the dough in the tart pan and then I put the pan in the refrigerator to freeze, rather than do form a ball with it, wrap it, then put it in the refrigerator and roll it in the tart pan frozen, as usual. I find that as the butter has softened, the dough spreads more easily in the tart pan.
