Instructions
-
Preheat an oven to 375 F.

Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled butter using a pastry cutter until crumbly with pea-sized pieces.

Add cold water to form a ball, then flatten, wrap, and chill for several hours.
-
Roll the chilled dough to fit a 10-inch fluted tart pan and press it in.
-
Line the dough with pie weights and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights, then bake for another 5 minutes. Cool the pastry shell.
-
Simmer cream over low-medium heat. Remove from heat, then stir in chocolate and vanilla until smooth.
-
Whisk a small amount of hot chocolate cream into eggs, then add tempered egg mixture back to the remaining chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
-
Pour chocolate filling into the cooled pastry shell and bake for 18 to 25 minutes, until mostly set.

Cool the tart in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove the tart ring and chill before serving.
