Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 23cm loose-bottomed tart pan. Roll out pastry until 5mm thick, then use to line pan, trimming excess. Chill for 30 minutes. Line with baking paper and fill with rice or pastry weights, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove weights and paper.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine creams and sugar in a pan over low heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, add chocolates and set aside. Grind cardamom seeds in a mortar and pestle until a powder, then add to chocolate mixture with chilli powder and stir until smooth. Cool slightly, then stir in egg. Pour into the tart case and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but with a slight wobble in the centre. Cool tart in the pan.

Step 3

For syrup, place ingredients in a pan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 25 minutes or until golden. Remove from heat, stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) water and cool.

Drizzle the chilli syrup over the tart and serve with dulce de leche ice cream
