Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of this Salted Dark Chocolate and Dulce de Leche Tart. The combination of the buttery tart crust, creamy chocolate ganache, sweet dulce de leche, and a touch of sea salt creates a perfect balance of flavors that will satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup cocoa powder. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed. 1/4 cup cold water. 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks. 1 cup dulce de leche. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes. Whipped cream and additional sea salt flakes for garnish.

Instructions: Put the flour, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a food processor. Toss in the cold, cubed butter and pulse in the food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add the cold water gradually while pulsing the dough until it comes together. After taking the dough out of the food processor, form it into a disk, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill it for at least half an hour. Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Using a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges of any extra dough. Once the oven is preheated, prick the bottom of the tart shell with a fork and bake it for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is set. Allow it to cool fully. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts to simmer. Take off the heat and stir in the chunks or chips of dark chocolate. After a minute, let them settle, then whisk until glossy and smooth. Evenly spread the chocolate ganache throughout the chilled tart shell after pouring it in. Use a microwave or stovetop to gently reheat the dulce de leche until it becomes pourable. Pour it in a decorative pattern over the chocolate ganache. Over the tart, scatter the sea salt flakes. To help the tart set, place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Present tart slices topped with a mound of whipped cream and an additional dusting of sea salt flakes. Savor your Dulce de Leche Tart and Salted Dark Chocolate!
