Chocolate Ganache Tart

🍰 Desserts

Mirror-ganache chocolate tart in sweet pastry, the patisserie showpiece. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Prep 40 min Cook 36 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Dark Chocolate2 cups, chopped
  • Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.

  3. 3

    Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the dark chocolate.

  4. 4

    Layer in the dark chocolate with the heavy cream so every slice gets a full cross-section.

  5. 5

    Bake at 190 C / 375 F for 35-45 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling; cool before slicing so the filling sets.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
