I made a John Wick tart. It has a black cocoa shell filled with whiskey ganache and blood orange curd.

WHISKEY GANACHE

Ingredients:

140g dark chocolate, chopped
70g heavy cream
30g whiskey
15g butter, cut into small cubes
dash of salt

Instructions:

1. Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and set aside.

2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

4. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and glossy.

5. Add the whiskey, butter, and salt and stir until well combined.

6. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap touching the surface. Let the ganache cool to room temperature.

BLOOD ORANGE CURD

Ingredients:

4 large egg yolks
150g granulated sugar
130ml freshly squeezed blood orange juice
1 tbsp blood orange zest
1/2 tsp powdered gelatin + 2 tbs water
80g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 tsp citric acid

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, blood orange juice, and zest until well combined.

2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.

3. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

4. In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 2 tbs of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it has fully absorbed the water.

5. Add the gelatin mixture to the blood orange curd mixture and whisk until fully combined.

6. Add the citric acid and pieces of butter to the blood orange curd mixture, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.

7. Pour the curd through a fine mesh sieve into a container and let it cool to room temperature.

8. Once cooled, cover the curd with plastic wrap touching the surface and refrigerate until chilled and set.
