- STEP ONE: Prepare the Tart Shell- Sift together the flour, salt, and sugar. Coat butter cubes with the flour mix and water and knead till malleable, but not homogeneous. (The amount of water given is approximate; adjust the amount used according to the dough's consistency.) Leave bits of plain butter, otherwise the dough becomes too elastic. Gently roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and lay onto a tart pan. Trim edges and poke bottom of pastry with a fork. Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for about ten min or possibly till tart shell browns slightly. Chill.
- STEP TWO: Prepare Cream Cheese Filling- Whip whipping cream till it forms soft peaks. In a mixer, beat cream cheese till it becomes fluffy. Mix in whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- STEP THREE: Assemble Tart- Fill tart shell with cream cheese mix.
- Arrange papaya slices in a pinwheel design over the top of the cream cheese. Place macadamia nuts in center of tart. With a pastry brush, coat top of tart with peach glaze. Chill for 1/2 hour before serving.
- STEP FOUR: Prepare Chocolate Sauce- Heat bitter chocolate, semisweet chocolate, heavy cream, and hot water in a saucepan, stirring frequently, till sauce is a smooth consistency.
- STEP FIVE: To Serve- Slice tart into 8 pcs. Drizzle chocolate sauce onto plate and place one piece of tart on each plate.
