Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add whole egg and egg yolk to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form, pulling it together with your hands if necessary.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer the rolled dough into the tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
- Prick the bottom of the tart shell with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
- Bake the tart shell in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then let it cool.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until just below boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, then slice and serve with whipped cream or berries.
