Instructions

  1. Make the Chocolate Tart Shell: Combine flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix in cold cubed butter until crumbly, then add an egg yolk and cold milk as needed to form dough. Chill.
  2. Blind Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough into a tart pan, prick with a fork, line with parchment and weights, and bake until firm.
  3. Bottom Ganache Layer: Heat cream until simmering, pour over chopped dark chocolate, stir until smooth, add salt and vanilla.
  4. Pistachio Cream Layer: Blend pistachios with milk until smooth; cook with heavy cream and cornstarch until thickened. Fold in roasted pistachios.
  5. Top Ganache Layer: Repeat similar steps as before for ganache; pour over pistachio layer.
  6. Garnish & Chill: Sprinkle extra pistachios around the edge; chill for about an hour.
