Chocolate Ganache Tart with Vanilla Cream Filling
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
Return the tempered yolks to the saucepan and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
