Dark Cocoa Crust

  • 0.33 cup powdered sugar 65g
  • 1 egg yolk large
Pistachio Filling
  • 1.5 cups raw shelled pistachios 225g, blanched and peeled
  • 6 oz white chocolate 170g, high quality
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream 120ml
Ganache and Garnish
  • 4 oz 70% dark chocolate 115g, chopped
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream 120ml
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup optional for gloss
  • 0.25 cup crushed pistachios for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
  • 1 High-speed food processor

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Pulse flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in food processor. Add butter until sandy, then bind with egg yolk. Press into pan, chill for 30 mins, and blind bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 mins until matte and firm.
Make the Filling
  1. Blanch pistachios for 60 seconds, shock in ice water, and peel. Process into a smooth paste. Melt white chocolate with cream and stir in pistachio paste until vibrant and creamy.
  2. Pour the pistachio cream into the cooled crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth the top into a perfectly level layer. Chill for 2 hours.
Finish with Ganache
  1. Pour hot cream over dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 mins, then whisk until glossy. Pour over the set pistachio layer.
  2. Once ganache is slightly set, pile finely crushed raw pistachios in a neat circle at the center of the tart.
