Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold milk (as needed)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 100g dark chocolate (at least 60%), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (130g) shelled unsalted pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 100g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Chopped or whole roasted pistachios

Instructions

  1. Make the chocolate tart shell by mixing flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Incorporate cold butter until crumbly, then add egg yolk and milk to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough, fit it into a tart pan, and blind bake for 25 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. For the bottom ganache layer, heat cream until simmering and pour over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth and pour into the cooled tart shell. Chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Blend pistachios with milk until smooth; cook with heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Cool slightly, fold in pistachios, and spread over the ganache layer.
  5. Prepare the top ganache layer by heating cream again; pour over chocolate and butter until glossy and pour over pistachio layer. Chill for at least an hour.
  6. Garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.
