    The Crust For Chocolate Coffee Ganache

    It take 10 minutes to prepare the crust for chocolate ganache recipe.

    Grab your apron, get comfy in your kitchen and let's get baking!

    The first step to make this cake recipe is preheat your oven to 350 ° Fahrenheit.

    Using a food processor, break up the graham crackers and place them in the bowl of a food processor, if using.

    Pulse until the crackers are pulsed into fine crumbs.

    If you don't have a food processor, simply crush the graham crackers in a wide bowl using the bottom of a glass.

    In a small bowl, combine the prepared graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and the melted butter. Crumbs should be slightly dry.

    Press the crumb crust mixture into the 13-inch tart pan.

    Use a glass to do this more easily flatten the crumbs mixture into the tart pan.

    Place the prepared tart pan on a silicone lined baking sheet and bake at 350-degrees for 10-minutes. After 10-minutes, remove the tart pan from the oven and let cool for at-least 5-minutes.

    Place the semisweet chocolate in a glass bowl and set aside.
    In a medium saucepan, mix the butter and heavy cream on low heat until combined. Do not let the heavy cream curdle. You’ll know the heavy cream is ready when it starts to boil.

    Immediately pour the heavy and butter mixture over the chocolate and combine. Use a spatula to combine the chocolate and heavy cream mixture. Add in the espresso and vanilla extract and combine everything again. This step takes time, be patient with it.

    The chocolate will be nice and smooth when everything is combined.
    Pour the chocolate mixture slowly into the 13-inch chocolate tart crust and refrigerate it for at-least two hours (2-4 hours is ideal.)
