• 70% Dark chocolate — 12 oz (chopped finely) [30% DV · Magnesium, Flavonols]
• Chocolate graham crackers — 1.5 cups (crushed for crust) [12% DV · Carbs]
• standard butter — 6 tablespoons (melted for crust) [15% DV · Fats]
• vanilla bean paste — 1 teaspoon (intense flavor)
• flaky sea salt — 1/2 teaspoon (Maldon)
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Mix crushed chocolate graham crackers with melted butter and press into a tart pan.
💡 Flow tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust firmly into the edges.
2. Bake the crust at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, then let cool completely.
💡 Flow tip: Cooling the crust prevents the ganache from making it soggy.
3. Heat the infused cream until it just begins to bubble at the edges.
💡 Flow tip: Do not boil the cream; excessive heat can break the ganache and degrade THC.
4. Pour hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes before whisking.
💡 Flow tip: Whisk from the center outward to create a perfect, glossy emulsion.
5. Pour into the crust, chill for 4 hours, and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
💡 Flow tip: Dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry before each slice for clean edges.
