Ingredients
For the crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
1 egg yolk
1-2 tbsp cold water
For the ganache filling:
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (chopped)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Make the crust: In a food processor, combine flour and sugar. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water, pulse until dough forms.
Press dough into a tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prick crust with a fork and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.
Make the ganache: Heat cream until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Add vanilla and salt.
Pour ganache into cooled crust. Smooth top and refrigerate until set (about 2 hours).
Garnish with sea salt, berries, or whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
Tart can be made 1–2 days ahead and kept refrigerated.
Add orange zest or espresso powder for variation.
