  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 23 tbsp ice water

For the Ganache Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and water, pulsing until dough just comes together.

  2. Flatten dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

  3. Roll dough and press into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim edges. Prick base with a fork.

  4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden. Cool completely.

  5. Make ganache: Heat cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

  6. Stir in butter, vanilla, and salt until combined.

  7. Pour ganache into cooled crust. Smooth top and chill at least 2 hours or until set.

  8. Garnish with sea salt, berries, or whipped cream if desired. Serve chilled.
