Tarte Au Chocolat

Don't be fooled by the name.
Tarte Au Chocolat is basically Chocolate pie
or Chocolate tart

so, everything started when I was watching TV
and I saw Anna Olson made Tarte Au chocolat.

It looks elegant.
Sounds elegant.
it sounds like it's very chocolaty.
and easy to make.

So, I rushed and bought the ingredients needed :)


see that huge cylinder thingy? Well, the shop worker convinced me to buy it and I fell into her trap but honestly, it was a good thing because that thing is a mixture of butter and margarine, it's cheaper than buying a few blocks of butter. 









dirty table because of the chocolate pastry :)






This is not how the pastry is supposed to look like...


The filling!


Unfortunately,
my Tarte Au Chocolat
failed.

because of the mistake I made which was
I mistaken the icing sugar as the flour.
so extra sugarrrr
I tried to mix it with the amount of flour needed but
my dough became so sticky.
not exactly sticky but
super problematic and it kept on breaking as I rolled it.

so, my dough failed horribly 

don't let me begin with my chocolate filling.

It was my first time using whipping cream and
somehow
I can't cook my filling.
I waited for it to bake for 15 minutes and it became a disaster
very very disappointing.
