Time 3h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups plain vanilla shortbread cookies (about 6 ounces cookies)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Chopped crystallized ginger, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine the cookies and sugar in a food processor and pulse to make fine (but not pasty) crumbs. Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake on a baking sheet until the crust is set and just golden, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For the filling: Combine the chocolate, cream, butter and dried ginger in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Stir until very smooth. Pour into the cooled tart shell and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
  • For the salted caramel: Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Set the pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is a deep amber, 8 to 12 minutes. Carefully whisk in the cream until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, kosher salt and cayenne. Pour into a spouted glass measuring cup and let cool until thickened, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • When the caramel is cooled and the tart is set, drizzle the caramel over the tart so some of the chocolate is still exposed; save the rest for serving. Sprinkle the tart with flaky sea salt and chopped crystallized ginger. Cut into wedges. (If you make the tart ahead of time, use a warm knife or let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.)

I'm a vegan, so I made a few modifications to the recipe to make it vegan. I used vegan butter and chocolate, and I substituted the eggs with flax eggs. The tart turned out great! It was rich and chocolatey, and my non-vegan friends loved it too.

I'm gluten-free, so I was thrilled to find this recipe. The tart crust was easy to make with gluten-free flour, and the tart itself was just as delicious as the traditional version. My family loved it, and they couldn't believe it was gluten-free.

I'm always looking for healthier dessert options, and this tart fit the bill. The spices helped to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate, and the tart was not overly rich. I felt good about indulging in this dessert.

I have a serious sweet tooth, and this tart definitely satisfied my craving. The chocolate was rich and decadent, and the spices added a nice touch of warmth. I ate two pieces in one sitting, and I'm already planning on making it again next week.
