Chocolate Ganache Tart

recipe

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop the butter into pieces. Then bring the butter to room temperature.
• Step 2
  In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar & a pinch of salt. Mix it together with your fingers until it forms a sandy texture. Then continue until it comes together into large clumps.
• Step 3
  Add the dough to a greased pie or tart pan. Using a drinking glass, flatten the dough into the pan to make the crust.
• Step 4
  Trim the edges with a knife, if needed. Pierce the crust several times with a fork.
• Step 5
  Bake the crust for 15 min at 400°F, or until golden brown. Set it aside to cool.
• Step 6
  Break the chocolate into pieces & add them to a heat-proof mixing bowl. (Add a spoonful of sugar if you like!)
• Step 7
  Add the cream to a small pot over medium heat. Once the cream starts to boil, remove it from the heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Stir with a rubber spatula as the chocolate chunks start to melt into the cream.
• Step 8
  As the chocolate melts, start whisking the chocolate-cream mixture. Continue until it forms a smooth ganache. Pour the ganache into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.
• Step 9
  Sprinkle sea salt over the tart. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
