Chocolate Ganache Tart With Fresh Figs
- For the crust:
- 12 graham crackers, crushed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate (bar, chips, or chunks)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh figs, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, optional
- Preheat your oven to 375u0b0 F. Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl and press the crumbs firmly into an 8-inch pie plate. Use a drinking glass or ramekin to compress the crumbs on the base and sides. Bake the pie for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant and just golden brown.
- While the pie crust cools, roughly chop the chocolate (if not using chips or chunks). Melt the chocolate and cream together in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir the mixture every 30 seconds, and remove it from the heat just before the chocolate is fully melted. (This will take about 2 minutes in the microwave) Continue stirring off the heat until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Top the pie with the fresh figs and dust with powdered sugar, if you want!
