Ingredients

For crust

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup 10x sugar, sifted
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter

For chocolate filling

1 pound semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
3 cups heavy cream

For vanilla cream

1 pound Mascarpone cheese
3 cups heavy cream, whipped
1/2 cup sugar
vanilla to taste

Preparation

  1. Make crust:

    Step 1

    Pulse flour, 10x sugar, cornstarch, and salt in food processor. Add butter, pulse until resembles cornmeal.

    Step 2

    Press firmly into baking sheet about 1/4-inch thick. Refrigerate. Then bake until golden brown, approximately 20 minutes at 350°. Cut into rectangles while still warm and set aside to cool.

  2. Make chocolate filling:

    Step 3

    Scald heavy cream, add chopped chocolate. Turn off heat and stir until smooth. Pour into baking sheet pan 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and freeze.

    Step 4

    Once frozen, cut into rectangles the same size as your crust rectangles. Keep frozen.

  3. Make vanilla cream:

    Step 5

    Whip heavy cream. Add sugar and vanilla. Fold together with cheese. Set aside.

  4. To assemble:

    Step 6

    Take two rectangles of pastry. Place one piece of frozen chocolate on one of them. Place both in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, until chocolate is warm and soft and crust is done baking.

    Step 7

    Remove from the oven. Spoon some of the cheese and whipped cream mixture on top of the chocolate. Place the other piece of crust on top.

    Step 8

    Drizzle with melted chocolate.
