Steps

  • Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed tart tin.
  • Roll out the sweet pastry on a lightly floured surface to line the tin.
  • Press the pastry into the tin, trim the edges, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Line the pastry with parchment and baking beans.
  • Bake blind for 15 minutes, remove beans, and bake for 5 more minutes until golden.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C.
  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
  • Whisk cream and egg yolks into the melted chocolate.
  • Pour the mixture into the tart case and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until set and cool to room temperature.
  • Line a 23cm square baking tray with parchment.
  • Whisk 350ml water, cornflour, and cream of tartar in a pan until thickened over medium heat.
  • Boil sugar, 200ml water, and lemon juice in another pan to 116°C.
  • Combine both mixtures and simmer on low for 30 minutes until light golden-brown.
  • Stir in the rosewater.
  • Pour into the tray and chill in the fridge for 2 hours until set.
  • Turn out the Turkish delight onto sugar-dusted parchment and cut into squares.
  • Dust one third of the squares with icing sugar.
  • Coat the remaining squares in melted chocolate and chill until set.
  • Serve tart slices with three pieces of Turkish delight and vanilla ice cream.
