Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Baking Sheet
- Large Pot
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate Graham Crackers finely ground
- 5 tablespoons Butter melted
- ¼ cup Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To make the crust, combine the finely ground chocolate graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch tart pan. Use your fingers to ensure it’s compact and even.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. This initial bake will set the crust.
- Once baked, allow the crust to cool on a rack for about 20 minutes.
- To make the filling, bring cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour the hot cream over your chocolate in a bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, gently stir the mixture until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, and salt.
- Now, stir the egg mixture into the melted chocolate, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the tart until the filling is set about 3 inches from the edge but the center still jiggles, approximately 25 minutes.
- To make the glaze, bring cream to a boil again and remove from heat.
- Stir in the chocolate until smooth, creating a rich and glossy glaze.
- Add corn syrup and warm water to the glaze, stirring until well combined.
- Pour the glaze onto the tart, tilting and rotating it to cover the filling evenly.
- Let the tart stand until the glaze is set.
- Finally, remove the tart from the pan and place it on a serving platter.
- Cut into wedges and serve with fresh berries and lightly sweetened whipped cream if desired.
