  • 100g dark chocolate (at least 60%), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (130g) shelled unsalted pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk

Instructions

  1. Make the Chocolate Tart Shell: In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and milk until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Blind Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough into a tart pan, prick base, line with parchment and weights. Bake for 15 minutes; remove weights and bake for another 10 minutes until set. Cool completely.
  3. Prepare Bottom Ganache: Heat cream until simmering; pour over chopped chocolate, let sit, then stir until smooth. Pour into cooled tart shell and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Make Pistachio Layer: Blend pistachios with milk until smooth. Cook with cream, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Mix in optional almond extract; fold in whole pistachios. Spread over ganache and chill for 30–45 minutes.
  5. Top Ganache: Heat cream; pour over chocolate and butter, stir until glossy. Pour over pistachio layer and smooth out.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top; chill for at least an hour before serving.
