Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 350 g flour
  • 1 tbsp regular granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla sugar
  • 180 g cold butter
  • 90 ml cold water
  • 1 egg for eggwash

Chocolate ganache

  • 300 g milk chocolate
  • 150 ml whipping cream 33%
  • sea salt for top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a pie baking tray.
  • In a bowl, mix with hands flour and cold butter cut into small pieces. Work the mixture until it has the consistency of sand.
  • Add sugars and repeat the process. Pour cold water into the bowl with the dough. Add as much water as you need so the dough holds its form and does not stick to the sides of the bowl. Make a ball and keep it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it on the floured surface. Lay the dough over the pie baking tray and stab the bottom of the pie with a fork. Brush it with eggwash and bake for 20-30 minutes – turn the heat off when it gets brown. Take the dough out of the oven and let it cool completely.
  • Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over boiling water. Add whipping cream and whisk until the chocolate gets thicker. Add as much whipping cream as you need to get a thick ganache.
  • When the ganache is lukewarm, pour it on top of the tart and keep it in the fridge for 5 hours. Sprinkle some sea salt over the tart.
