Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Filling
- 8 oz ruby chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Topping
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Pulse the chocolate graham crackers and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Form and chill the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 13 x 3.5-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Freeze the crust for 10 to 15 minutes to set it firmly.
- Heat the cream: In a saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it just begins to bubble around the edges—be careful not to boil.
- Make the ganache: Remove the cream from heat and stir in the chopped ruby chocolate until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
- Fill the crust: Pour the ruby chocolate ganache into the chilled tart crust and smooth the surface evenly.
- Refrigerate the tart: Place the tart in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours until the filling is fully set.
- Prepare the drizzle: Melt the dark chocolate together with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until smooth. Drizzle this over the top of the chilled tart for a beautiful finishing touch.
- Serve: Slice the tart into 8 portions and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is hot but not boiling to avoid seizing the chocolate.
- Use a tart pan with a removable bottom for easier slicing and serving.
- Chilling time is crucial for the tart to set properly, so do not skip the refrigeration step.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute the ruby chocolate with white chocolate or milk chocolate if preferred, but the unique color and flavor of ruby chocolate are a highlight.
