Ingredients

Walnut Chocolate Ganache Tart

  • 2 Cups Toasted Walnut halves (200 g / 7 oz)
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar (50 g / 2 oz)
  • 4 TBS Unsalted Butter, melted (56 g / 2 oz)

Chocolate Ganache Filling

  • 1 1/3 Cups Chopped dark or semi-sweet chocolate (220 g / 8 oz)
  • 1 Cup Heavy cream (240 ml / 8 oz)
  • 4 TBS Unsalted Butter, cut into 1/4" cubes (45 g / 2 oz)

Instructions

  • Grease a 9" tart shell and preheat oven to 350F.
  • Place walnuts, sugar and melted butter in a food processor and pulse until all the ingredients have combined.
  • Scoop walnut mixture in the tart shell and use your fingers or the back of a spoon to evenly spread the paste into the shell.
  • Prick the shell with a fork.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the shell is golden. If the shell puffed, use the back of a spoon to press it back as soon as you take it out of the oven. Let cool

Chocolate Ganache Filling

  • Place chopped chocolate and butter in a large bowl.
  • Pour heavy cream in a saucepan and place over the stove medium heat. Once you notice some bubbles at the edges of the pan, remove from stove and pour cream over chocolate.
  • Wait a few minutes before mixing to allow the hot cream to melt the chocolate and butter.
  • Use a rubber spatula or a hand whisker to mix the filling until smooth.
  • Pour chocolate filling into the walnut shell and spread it evenly.
  • Allow to cool and firm for about 30 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle some melted chocolate or top with fresh fruits.
