Indulge in the decadent goodness of this easy chocolate ganache tart with a brown butter crust. The rich and silky chocolate filling pairs perfectly with the nutty undertones of the crust. A dessert that's sure to impress!
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed. 1 large egg yolk. 2 tablespoons ice water. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. 1 pinch of salt. Cocoa powder, for dusting. Fresh berries, for garnish optional.
Instructions: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Add this mixture to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the parchment and weights, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow it to cool completely. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust and smooth it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Slice and enjoy your sumptuous Chocolate Ganache Tart with Brown Butter Crust!
