Ingredients

Sweet Pastry Crust

1 /2 cup butter, soften
⅓ cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 and ⅓ cup flour

Ganache

1 cup dark chocolate, packed
1 cup heavy cream
⅓ cup butter

Instructions

Sweet pastry

In a small bowl, cream the butter with the sugar.
Add in the beaten egg. Mix well.
Add in the flour and put the egg/butter mix in the middle. Fold in the flour to incorporate the mixture and flour. Using a spatula, fold the flour and pretend to cut in the middle with the tip of your spatula to incorporate the flour.
Repeat this gesture until your dough is smooth. Set aside in the fridge for an hour.
Preheat the oven at 400C.
On a lightly flour surface, roll the dough down, and put it in a 9 inch pie mold or 3x9 rectangular mold.
Lay down some parchment paper and add some baking weigh or dry beans and bake the crust for 20 minutes. This is blind baking.
Once cooked, set aside and allow to cool.

Ganache

Warm up the cream but do not bring it to a boil.
In a bowl, place the chocolate and pour the hot cream on top. Stir until full melted. Add in the butter. Stir some more.
Pour the ganache on the pie crust.
Refrigerate 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Make ahead and store in the fridge 24 to 48 hours.
Use quality chocolate.
Decorate with fresh fruit.
