Ingredient list for the Frozen Chocolate Tart  recipe

• 4 1/2(125g) cold butter, diced
• 1 pinch of salt

Directions

Prepare the tart shell:
1. Prepare the short-crust pastry by kneading the ingredients by hand. For more details, check this tutorial on how to make short-crust pastry.
2. Line a 8 inches (20cm) diameter mold (I used a silicone cake pan, very convenient for the release of the pastry!).
3. Blind bake the tart shell at 390°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.

Make the filling:
1. Boil the cream in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir the chocolate in until completely melted.
2. Pour the ganache on the bottom of the baked tart shell and bake for 10 minutes more. If you worry that it doesn’t set in the oven, left it in longer and give it a little shake from time to time, and if it’s wobbling too much leave it in a little longer.
3. Allow to cool completely before refrigerating overnight. Garnish with fresh or frozen raspberries before serving… Success is guaranteed!
