How to Make Jacques Torres Chocolate Tart

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons honey. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until small bubbles begin to form around the edges (do not boil).
  2. While the cream heats, finely chop 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and place it in a medium bowl.
  3. Pour half of the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate slightly.
  4. Gently stir the cream and chocolate until smooth and combined. Repeat with the remaining cream, stirring until a smooth ganache forms.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter to the ganache and whisk until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
  6. Pour the ganache into your prepared 9-inch tart shell.
  7. Place the filled tart on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
  8. Once set, remove from the refrigerator, and serve. Enjoy!
