Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the garnish:

  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Fresh berries, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan.

Step 2: Bake the Crust

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.

Step 3: Make the Filling

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and sugar, heating over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat and add chopped dark chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.

Step 4: Add Eggs

Once the chocolate mixture is slightly cooled, whisk in the eggs until fully incorporated. Make sure not to add the eggs when the mixture is too hot to prevent them from scrambling.

Step 5: Pour Filling into Crust

Carefully pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6: Bake the Tart

Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 7: Cool the Tart

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 8: Serve

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Slice and enjoy your dark chocolate truffle tart!

Notes

Melting Chocolate

To create a smooth ganache for the tart, melt the dark chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave, ensuring it doesn’t seize or burn.

Whipping Cream

Whip the cream until soft peaks form to incorporate air and create a light texture in your ganache.

Chilling the Tart

After assembling the tart, refrigerate it to allow the ganache to set properly, making it easier to slice.

Decorative Finishing

Garnish your tart with chocolate shavings, berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant presentation.
