Ingredients

Tart Shell

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, about 12 full crackers
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 7 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup or glucose
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • Chopped hazelnuts, for garnish
  • Optional: dried rose petals and edible gold flakes for decoration

Instructions

Tart Shell

  • Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Form the shell: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch tart pan. Use the back of a spoon to compact the crust firmly.
  • Chill: Place the tart shell in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Chocolate Filling

  • Heat the cream: Pour the heavy cream into a medium saucepan and heat over medium until it just begins to boil.
  • Melt the chocolate: Remove the cream from heat and add the chopped chocolate and corn syrup. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Incorporate the butter: Gradually add the butter, stirring until each piece is fully melted and the mixture is glossy.
  • Fill the tart shell: Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared tart shell.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
  • Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and, if desired, dried rose petals and edible gold flakes.

Notes

  • Tart Shell Options: You can use a store-bought 8-inch tart shell for convenience.
  • Chilling Time: To achieve the best texture, ensure the tart is chilled for at least 6 hours. Overnight chilling is ideal.
  • Decoration: Feel free to get creative with your garnishes. Fresh berries or a light dusting of powdered sugar can also be lovely.
