Ingredients
Scale
Tart Crust
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice cold water
- 1/4 tsp salt
Ganache Filling
- 8 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and dried
Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim excess. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and parchment, and bake another 8-10 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
- Make the Ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes to soften. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Stir in the softened butter until fully incorporated.
- Fill the Tart: Pour the ganache into the cooled tart crust, spreading evenly. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set the filling firmly.
- Top with Blueberries: Once the ganache has set, arrange fresh blueberries evenly over the surface of the tart. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a certified gluten-free flour blend.
- Use bittersweet chocolate for a less sweet and more intense chocolate flavor.
- Ensure the tart crust is fully cooled before pouring ganache to prevent melting.
- This tart is best served within 2 days of preparation for optimal freshness.
