How to Make Chocolate Truffle Tart With Chocolate Nib Crust

  1. **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs, ½ cup chocolate nibs, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix well.
  2. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter to the crumb mixture and mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  4. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  5. **Make the ganache:** In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional) over medium heat until the mixture just begins to simmer.
  6. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream mixture over 8 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Let stand for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  7. Whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy.
  8. Pour the ganache into the chilled tart crust.
  9. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the ganache to set completely.
  10. Serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream (optional) before serving.
