Another dessert creation because I already had everything in the kitchen. Simple and easy to make, you can top this chocolate ganache tart with any seasonal fruit! I love the crust on this because it’s nutty and the hints of salt tame down the richness of the chocolate. Give it a try!

Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 325F and grease a 9″ tart pan.

- Step 4 Add yolks and vanilla extra and pulse until a dough forms.
- Step 5 Press the dough onto the bottom of the pan and along the sides. Place in fridge for 30 minutes.
- Step 6 Take out pan and, with a fork, pierce the bottom of the tart in multiple locations all over.
- Step 7 Bake for 30 minutes.
- Step 8 While the crust is baking, combine chocolate, cream, coconut oil, and salt in a bowl over a double boiler.
- Step 9 Stir the mixture until everything is melted and incorporated.
- Step 10 Pour chocolate mixture into the baked tart crust and smooth out top.
- Step 11 Refrigerate tart for at least 4 hours before topping with favorite fruit and serving.
