Ina Garten’s chocolate tart features a delicate, homemade pastry crust filled with a luscious chocolate ganache. The filling is made with high-quality dark chocolate, heavy cream, and a touch of vanilla for a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth experience. The tart is best served chilled and can be garnished with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tart Crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water

For the Chocolate Filling:

  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the tart crust – In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the egg yolk and water – Gradually add the egg yolk and ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together.
  • Chill the dough – Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the crust – On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press it into the pan and trim the edges.
  • Blind bake the crust – Line the tart shell with parchment paper, fill with pie weights, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes until golden. Let cool.
  • Melt the chocolate – In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped chocolate.
  • Heat the cream and butter – In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Stir the filling – Whisk the chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Fill the tart shell – Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shell, spreading evenly.
  • Chill until set – Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  • Garnish and serve – Decorate with whipped cream, berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
