- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
- 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pulse to mix.

- Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Spread 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool.
- In a saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and add 8 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shell and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
