Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Step 2: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool completely.
- Step 3: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Step 4: Place 8 oz chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk gently until smooth.
- Step 5: Stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes, and 2 tbsp honey until fully incorporated and glossy.
- Step 6: Pour the ganache into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Step 7: Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours or until the ganache is set.
- Step 8: Before serving, drizzle additional honey on top if desired and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes for extra flavor contrast.
