• Crust: For this recipe, I use a classic eggless tart crust. However, If you are short of time, you can make this tart with a graham cracker or oreo crust (homemade or store-bought).
• Gelatin: Unflavored powdered gelatin is my preferred way to thicken the chocolate filling. However, if you can’t consume gelatin, you can use agar agar powder. Keep in mind that the texture might be slightly different. Gelatin can give a «creamy» texture, whereas agar gives a firmer texture. Agar agar powder is much more powerful than gelatin so just add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon. If using agar agar powder, add it with the heavy cream and sugar (step 2).
• Milk: For baking, I like to use whole milk. However, you can use any milk you have handy.
• Heavy cream: Make sure it has at least 35% of fat content.
• Sugar: Regular white granulated sugar o caster sugar. I do not recommend reducing the amount of sugar or changing the type of sugar, as it will change the texture of the chocolate filling.
• Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half.
• Chocolate: Be sure to use quality chocolate, with a cacao percentage between 60 and 65 percent. For a sweeter taste, use semi-sweet chocolate.
• Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe.
• Sea salt flakes (optional) for sprinkling before serving.
