Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Sea salt for garnish (optional)
• Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
2. Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, whisking until smooth and glossy. Stir in cocoa powder and vanilla extract if using.
3. Fill the Tart Shell: Pour the ganache filling into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
4. Serve: Once set, remove the tart from the pan. Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh berries if desired. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
