This classic tart is a favorite of chocolate lover everywhere. Ganache is a luxurious filling made of heavy cream and dark chocolate. Because of its intensity, you will only need a thin slice, but who are we kidding? You won't be able to stop at just a single slice. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons slivered blanched almonds
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange or lemon zest, (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

To make the dough, pulse almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add sugar, flour, zest (if desired), and salt; pulse until combined. Add butter, pulsing until coarse crumbs form with no large butter lumps (dough should clump together when squeezed with fingers).

Step 3

Immediately transfer dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Using a measuring cup, evenly press dough in bottom and up sides of pan.

Step 4

Bake in center of oven until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

Step 5

To make the ganache, place chocolate in a large mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Pour hot cream, through a sieve, over chocolate. Stir until smooth and creamy in texture. Mix in vanilla.

Step 6

Pour chocolate mixture into center of cooled tart shell (if chocolate is lumpy, pass through a sieve). Let stand until set, about 2 hours, or chill for 1 hour.
