- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shell and spread it evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt flakes over the top.
