Steps:
- For the crust: Add the cookies to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse together. Tip into an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom and press the mixture in with a 1/4-cup measure to form an even crust on the bottom and sides. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
- For the ganache: Put the cream and butter in a pan and heat until the mixture starts to bubble.
- Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl and pour the warmed cream and butter over it. Mix everything together until melted and fully combined, then pour it into the chilled tart base. Refrigerate the tart overnight until set.
- For the chocolate curl garnish: Put the white chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl and set over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate is melted; mix together. Pour the melted mixture onto the underside of a clean baking sheet and spread it in a very thin layer with an offset spatula or knife. Put it in the freezer until set, about 2 minutes. (To check if it is set, press it with your fingertip; it should leave the slightest mark but not a depression.)
- Using a sharp-edged spatula, scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the baking sheet into curls. Remove the tart from the pan and decorate with the curls.
CHOCOLATE MINT TART
This chocolate mint tart is wonderfully reminiscent of a giant, elegant peppermint patty, tucked into a chocolate pastry shell. The mint flavor is subtle thanks to fresh-mint infused cream that is used both in the white chocolate ganache filling and billowy topping. But don't worry, dark-chocolate lovers: There is plenty here for you, too. The crisp crust is spiked with Dutch-processed cocoa and the middle layer is deep, dark bittersweet chocolate ganache. It's also very rich; a thin slice alongside a cup of coffee is the perfect after-dinner mint. This recipe has multiple chilling steps, so plan ahead if you're going to make it. It's more of an afternoon project, than a simple weeknight endeavor.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon cold water. Add the yolk mixture to the food processor and pulse until it is evenly distributed. The mixture will appear crumbly, but should hold together very easily when pressed. Add a bit more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary. Turn the mixture out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a disc. Wrap the disc in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle 1/4- to 1/8-inch thick. Gently fit the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and trim the top evenly. Repair any cracks or tears in the dough with the trimmings and reserve the trimmings, wrapped in plastic and kept at room temperature, to use later if necessary. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- While the shell is chilling, heat oven to 375 degrees. Just before baking, dock the shell all over with a fork, and line the bottom and sides with aluminum foil. Bake the shell until it is cooked through and crisp, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and, using the leftover dough, repair any cracks that may have formed. Cool the shell on a rack while you prepare the rest of the tart.
- Make the white chocolate ganache: Heat the 1 3/4 cups heavy cream and mint leaves in a saucepan over medium-high until simmering. Turn off heat and let cream steep for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve, pressing on the leaves to extract as much cream as possible. Reserve 1 cup of the cream, covered, in the refrigerator.
- Heat the remaining 3/4 cup of cream until simmering and pour it over the white chocolate in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk the mixture until smooth, then let it cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. If the chocolate is resisting melting, set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until smooth.
- Add the butter and a pinch of salt and whip the ganache on high speed for 10 minutes. It will go from slightly translucent to opaque and aerated. Taste and add the peppermint extract if desired. Pour the whipped ganache into the cooled tart shell, smooth the top and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Make the bittersweet ganache: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the chocolate, butter and salt to a heat-safe bowl and whisk in the hot cream until smooth. If the chocolate is resisting melting, set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until smooth.
- Use a spatula to spread the bittersweet ganache over the cooled white chocolate ganache. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Just before serving, make the mint cream topping: Whip the reserved 1 cup of infused cream with the confectioners' sugar to soft peaks. Add peppermint extract, if desired. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the ganache and serve the tart cold. Wipe off your knife in between slices for the cleanest cuts.

5/5 (2)Published Jul 1, 2021Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Homemade Peppermint Patties. There’s nothing quite like the first bite of a peppermint pattie. When the rich dark chocolate breaks to reveal that cool, sweet mint filling inside, it’s like heaven.
- Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake. Whenever I go to Baskin Robbins, I go in thinking I’ll try something new, but I almost always end up with a scoop of mint chocolate chip.
- Rich And Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate. This recipe takes a tad longer than pouring hot water over a pack of cocoa, but it’s so worth it in the end.
- Best Mint Brownie Recipe. Brownies are such a versatile treat, and they go with so many amazing flavors. I’m partial to caramel or raspberry, but these mint brownies are definitely near the top of my list.
- Mint Chocolate Bark. I can’t tell you how often I’ve gone to make peppermint bark only to find the stores are totally out of candy canes. That’s where this recipe comes in.
- Homemade Peppermint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Ice cream makers are so worth the investment once you get a taste of the homemade stuff. Being able to make any flavor you want is so exciting, and I promise you’ll use it more than you think!
- Homemade Junior Mints. Junior Mints are pretty similar to Peppermint Patties, except the filling has a slightly different texture, and they’re generally smaller.
- Peppermint Brownie Truffles. Brownie truffles are similar to cake truffles; only there’s no frosting in the mix. Instead, the fudgy brownie is all you’ll need to make these moist yet firm.
- Easy 5-Ingredient Peppermint Fudge. Since white chocolate fudge can be a little sickly on its own, you’ll make a batch of dark chocolate as well for this recipe to help balance it out.
- 3-Ingredient White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels. This recipe only needs pretzels, white chocolate, and crushed candy canes. That said, it is a touch time-consuming since you have to dip each pretzel in the chocolate.
