Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Filling
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat, preparing it for baking the crust.
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the base and up the sides of a tart pan to form an even crust.
- Bake the Crust: Place the tart pan in the preheated oven and bake the crust for 10 minutes to set it. After baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over medium heat, bringing it just to a simmer, taking care not to boil.
- Melt the Chocolate: Remove the heated cream from the stove and add the dark chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Sugar and Salt: Stir in the sugar and the sea salt to the warm chocolate mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
- Fill the Tart: Pour the prepared chocolate filling evenly into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading gently to level the surface.
- Chill the Tart: Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set firmly.
- Serve: Slice the tart into 8 portions and serve chilled, finishing each serving with a light sprinkle of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best results and deeper flavor.
- Make sure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- Adjust the amount of sea salt to taste for perfect balance between sweet and salty.
- The tart can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or substitute with crushed nuts.
