Ingredients

For the crust:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For the filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking beans or pie weights

Method

Step 1: Make the Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the softened butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the dough starts to come together. Press the dough into the tart pan, making sure it is evenly distributed. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to steam. Remove from heat and add in the chopped chocolate, butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set.

Notes

Make sure to let the tart cool completely before adding the filling, or the filling may melt and become too runny. You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
