Chocolate Truffle Tart

Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups of chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
– 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
– 12 ounces of high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Optional toppings: fresh berries, whipped cream, or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan.
2. In a food processor, pulse the chocolate wafer cookies until finely ground. You can also place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
3. Transfer the crushed cookies to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
4. Press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan.
5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate filling by placing the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
8. Let the mixture sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to soften, then gently stir until smooth and glossy. Add in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.
9. Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top with a spatula.
10. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
11. Before serving, you can garnish your Chocolate Truffle Tart with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or some mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.
