Instructions For Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust
Preheat oven to 350-degrees
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 graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and the melted butter until combined. Crumbs should be slightly dry.
Press the crumb crust mixture into the 13-inch tart pan.
Press the crumb crust mixture into the 13-inch tart pan. You can also use a glass to do this more easily to 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.
Instructions For Chocolate Coffee Ganache Filling
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.)
Top the Chocolate Ganache Tart with fresh strawberries, raspberries and fresh sprigs of mint.
Sprinkle with powered sugar or fresh whipped cream just before serving.
The longer the Chocolate Ganache Tart sits in the fridge, the easier it will be to slice.
