For an extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate ganache. Serve the tart with a dusting of cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. The tart crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Crust: In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse briefly to mix. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. (5 minutes)
02
StepChill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and flatten it into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the gluten to relax. (1 hour)
03
StepPreheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. (5 minutes)
04
StepRoll and Shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared tart pan. Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Trim any excess dough from the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. (15 minutes)
05
StepBake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. (1 hour)
06
StepMake the Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat heavy cream in the microwave for 2 minutes, or until it is hot but not boiling. Add chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute to soften. Whisk until smooth and glossy. (5 minutes)
07
StepAssemble the Tart: Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust. Spread evenly. (2 minutes)
08
StepSet and Chill: Let the tart cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm. (2 hours)
