Tart Crust

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tart Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms. Press into a tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pre-bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the tart crust for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped bittersweet chocolate, stirring until melted. Add brewed espresso, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Bake the Filling

    Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set but slightly wobbly in the center. Allow to cool completely.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Chocolate Glaze

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped bittersweet chocolate, stirring until smooth.

  6. 6

    Glaze the Tart

    Once the tart is completely cooled, pour the chocolate glaze over the tart, spreading evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
