Perfect for any special occasion or as a delightful treat, this recipe is both simple and indulgent.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 tbsp powdered sugar
30g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp water
16g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tart Crust:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cut-up butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, lightly beat one egg and 1 tbsp of cold water together. Pour this into the flour-butter mixture and mix until the dough just comes together.
- Chill the Dough: Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Roll Out the Dough:
- Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan, ideally around 9 to 10 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it in to fit evenly. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
4. Blind Bake the Crust:
- Prick the bottom of the tart crust with a fork several times. Line the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely.
5. Prepare the Chocolate Filling:
- Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- Melt the Chocolate: Remove from heat and immediately add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the hot cream. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Mix in the Egg and Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk together one egg and the granulated sugar. Gradually add this mixture to the melted chocolate, stirring continuously, until smooth and well combined.
6. Fill and Bake:
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the tart in the oven (still at 375°F/190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. For the best results, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours.
- Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries on the side.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is cold when incorporating it into the flour for the crust. This helps create a flaky texture.

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to prevent shrinking while baking.

- Use pie weights or dried beans to keep the crust from puffing up when blind baking.

- Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to help it melt more quickly and evenly when mixing with the hot cream.

- Allow the chocolate and cream mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs to avoid cooking them.

- For a glossy finish on your tart, you can gently warm the chocolate filling with a kitchen torch or back in the oven for a brief moment after pouring it into the crust.

- Serve the tart with a sprinkle of sea salt or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of flavor.
