Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and egg yolk, mixing until a cohesive dough forms, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), then roll out the chilled dough to roughly ⅛-inch thick.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough into the prepared tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming excess.
- Bake the tart shell for 15 minutes or until slightly firm, then allow it to cool on a wire rack.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming.
- Whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and flour in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens.
- Remove from heat, stir in the dark chocolate until completely melted.
- Pour the filling into the cooled tart shell and let cool before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve chilled, optionally garnished with chocolate shavings or nuts.

Notes
