Ingredients

For the Tart Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup cold water

For the Ganache Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Tart Crust:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with butter.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the sides and bottom. Trim the excess dough from the edges.
  • Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the weights and parchment paper. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

For the Ganache Filling:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Let the chips sit for a few minutes to soften.
  • Stir the chocolate until it has melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the ganache filling into the tart crust. Allow the tart to cool completely before serving.
