Chocolate Touchscreen Tart

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

3. 3

   Add 1/2 cup chilled and diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 2 tablespoons cold water. Mix until the dough comes together.

5. 5

   Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use a fork to prick the dough all over.

6. 6

   Bake the tart shell in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it's lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.

7. 7

   For the filling, place 1 cup dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

8. 8

   Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate.

9. 9

   Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and glossy.

10. 10

    Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shell and spread it evenly.

11. 11

    Chill the tart in the refrigerator until the ganache is set, about 2 hours.

12. 12

    Once set, decorate the tart with edible silver leaf as desired.

13. 13

    Serve the Chocolate Touchscreen Tart at room temperature or slightly chilled.
