Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, stirring until evenly moistened.
  2. 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 set. Remove and cool.
  3. Step 3: In a heatproof bowl, place 8 oz chopped bittersweet chocolate. Heat 3/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Whisk in 3 tbsp D’USSÉ VSOP Cognac, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Pour the chocolate-cognac filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are set but center slightly wobbly.
  6. Step 6: Cool tart to room temperature, then chill for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes before serving.
