Honey chocolate tart

Flavoured chocolates allow for surprising flavour notes in desserts and pastries. Here, a shortbread base is used in combination with a pastry cream flavoured with honey chocolate - oh yes, Callebaut uses natural honey to enrich its milk chocolate. It yields a pastry cream with intense cocoa hints, and lovely sweet and sour honey notes.
