🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Roll out the shortcrust pastry in a 22–24 cm diameter tart tin. Prick the base with a fork. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the pastry with parchment paper and baking beans. Bake for 12–15 min until lightly golden. Remove the beans and bake for 5 more minutes if needed. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Chop the chocolate. Bring the cream to a boil, pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Incorporate the butter and orange zest if used.

  4. 4

    Pour the still-fluid ganache onto the baked tart base. Smooth the surface and tap to remove air bubbles.

  5. 5

    Let cool for 30 min at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the ganache to set.

  6. 6

    To cut, run a knife blade under hot water, dry it, and slice. Repeat before each slice.

Tips & Tricks
  • For a less soggy crust, brush the baked base with a thin layer of melted chocolate before adding the ganache.
  • Lactose-free version: replace heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on the ganache for a sweet-salty contrast, or a teaspoon of orange liqueur.
