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. Prepare the tart shell by mixing flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Blend in cubed butter until coarse crumbs form. Add egg yolk and enough cold milk to form a dough. Chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough, press it into a tart pan, prick the base, line with parchment paper, and blind bake for 25 minutes. Let cool.
  3. For the bottom ganache layer, heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chopped dark chocolate and let sit before stirring until smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt, then pour into the cooled tart shell and chill until set.
  4. Make the pistachio layer by blending shelled pistachios with whole milk until smooth. Cook mixture with cream, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened; fold in roasted pistachios. Spread over set ganache layer and chill.
  5. Prepare the top ganache layer by repeating the process with cream and dark chocolate; pour over pistachio filling.
  6. Garnish with chopped pistachios and chill for at least an hour before serving.
