Method

Crust Preparation

1

Make the Crust

In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Bake the Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm. Allow to cool.

Filling Preparation

3

Prepare the Filling

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.

4

Bake the Tart

Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Topping Preparation

5

Prepare the Whipped Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

6

Marble the Chocolate

Melt the milk chocolate and drizzle it over the chilled tart. Use a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect. Serve with whipped cream on the side or on top of the tart.
