👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- To prepare crust ---
2. 2Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC
3. 3Coat a 10 inch/25 cm tart pan with a removable base with non-stick cooking spray.

5. 5Press the crust mixture evenly over the base and sides using the back of a spoon to help you.
6. 6--- To prepare filling ---
7. 7Heat the cream until it bubbles (you can do this in the microwave for 1-1/2 minutes).
8. 8Add the chocolate to the cream and allow to sit for 3 or 4 minutes.
9. 9Take a whisk and start slowly mixing the cream and chocolate until it is smooth and well combined.
10. 10If the mixture is still hot, cool a little so that the eggs don't scramble.
11. 11Add the eggs and salt. Whisk to combine.
12. 12Tap the bowl on the bench to bring the air bubble to the surface.
13. 13Pour this mixture into your prepared tart pan.
14. 14Carefully transfer to your hot oven and bake undisturbed for 20 minutes.
15. 15Allow the tart to cool for about 15 minutes then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.
16. 16--- To prepare the ganache topping ---
17. 17Heat the cream (again you can do this in the microwave) add the chocolate and sugar and allow to sit for a few minutes.
18. 18Whisk to combine until smooth
19. 19Pour this delicious mixture all over the top of the tart.
20. 20Don't use anything to spread it. Just tip the tart around to spread the topping. This will result in a mirror like finish. Return to the refrigerator until ready to serve. Return to room temperature for maximum flavour.
