For the Cadbury Filling:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Follow these simple steps to create your Cadbury purple tart masterpiece:
Making the Crust:
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Cut in butter: Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
- Chill the dough: Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll and bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than your tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Blind bake (optional): For a crispier crust, line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Making the Cadbury Filling:
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the Cadbury chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Combine ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream until smooth. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and purple food coloring. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add more food coloring if needed to achieve your desired shade of purple.
- Fill the crust: Pour the Cadbury filling into the prepared tart crust.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
Garnish and Serve:
Once the tart is set, garnish it with your favorite toppings, such as Cadbury chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Slice and serve, and enjoy your delicious Cadbury purple tart!
Tips and Variations:
- For a richer flavor: Use dark chocolate Cadbury instead of milk chocolate.
- Add nuts: Incorporate chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, into the crust for added texture and flavor.
- Make it vegan: Use vegan butter, condensed milk, and chocolate chips for a delicious vegan version.
This Cadbury purple tart is a showstopper dessert, perfect for any occasion. The vibrant color and rich chocolate flavor will leave everyone wanting more! Enjoy creating this delightful treat!
