1 large egg yolk

3 tablespoons ice water

8 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped

Instructions

Make the Tart Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in egg yolk and ice water until a dough forms.

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roll and Bake the Crust: Roll out the chilled dough and press it into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork, bake for 15 minutes, then let it cool.
