For the Tart Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Chocolate Ganache Filling
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- Pinch of sea salt
- 4 tablespoons Biscoff spread
- Prepare the Tart Crust: Mix cold, cubed butter with flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Press the dough evenly into a tart pan, smoothing the edges. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Bake until golden brown to achieve a crisp, buttery base, then let cool.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache Filling: Gently heat the heavy cream until it starts to simmer, then pour over chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for one minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Whisk in the room temperature egg yolk and a pinch of sea salt until fully combined into a silky ganache.
- Incorporate the Biscoff Spread: Swirl spoonfuls of Biscoff spread into the chocolate ganache, folding gently to create a marbled effect or an even mixture, depending on your preference.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the ganache and Biscoff mixture into the cooled tart shell. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the tart to set completely and develop its flavors.
- Final Touches: Before serving, optionally sprinkle sea salt flakes, crushed Biscoff cookies, or dust powdered sugar on top for a festive and polished look.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg yolk to ensure smooth blending without curdling.
- Keep butter and utensils cold to maintain crust flakiness.
- High cacao content dark chocolate will enhance richness and flavor depth.
- Allow the tart to chill fully for ease of slicing and ideal texture.
- For a marbled effect, swirl Biscoff spread gently with a toothpick without fully mixing into the ganache.
