Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 9" tart shell
Ingredients
  • ½ Cup (75 grams) teff flour
  • 3 Tablespoons (30 grams) white rice flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Cocoa powder
  • ¼ Cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 Tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
Instructions
  1. The crust can be made either by hand, mixer, or food processor. The order is the same. Put the teff and rice flours, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder in the bowl. Combine.
  2. Add butter, cream cheese, water, and vanilla. Blend together.
  3. Transfer the dough to a greased tart pan. Use your fingers or a spatula to spread the dough over the bottom and sides of the pan. For a really smooth crust, place a sheet of plastic wrap then a paper towel on top and use a flat-bottomed cup to smooth the bottom and sides. Chill the dough with the plastic on for at least 2 hours, better if overnight. The dough can also be wrapped in plastic and chilled before rolling out if making it ahead of time.
  4. If chilling the dough before rolling out, make sure to let the dough soften for about 15 minutes at room temperature before attempting to roll out. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment dusted with rice flour. Chill for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
  6. Brush the bottom and sides of the crust with egg wash: egg yolk mixed with a pinch of salt and ½ teaspoon water. Bake an additional 2 minutes to set the egg wash.
