  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold milk (as needed)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 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
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Chocolate Tart Shell: Combine flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix in cold cubed butter until crumbly, then add egg yolk and cold milk as needed to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Blind Bake the Shell: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out chilled dough into a tart pan and prick the base with a fork. Bake with weights for 15 minutes, remove weights, then bake for another 10 minutes until set. Cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Bottom Ganache Layer: Heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chopped dark chocolate and let sit before stirring until smooth. Pour into cooled tart shell and chill.
  4. Make the Pistachio Cream Layer: Blend shelled pistachios with milk until smooth. Cook mixture with heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat until thickened. Let cool slightly before spreading on top of ganache layer and chill again.
  5. Prepare the Top Ganache Layer: Heat cream until simmering; pour over chopped dark chocolate with butter and stir until smooth. Pour over pistachio layer; chill.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped or whole roasted pistachios around the edge before slicing.
