1

Grind 2 cups of graham crackers in a food processor to make fine crumbs if using full crackers.

2

Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a bowl.

3

Add 4 tablespoons of white sugar and mix until incorporated.

4

Add 1/2 cup of melted salted butter (cooled slightly) and mix with a fork until well combined, forming a fine crumb mixture.

5

Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and spread it evenly, packing it against the sides and bottom.

6

Use a dry measuring cup or glass to press the crumb mixture down into the pan until it's uniform.

7

Refrigerate the crust for 20 minutes to set.

8

Chop 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and place it in a measuring cup.

9

Heat 1 cup of heavy cream in a pot or small saucepan, stirring constantly until it reaches 190 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius), but do not let it boil.

10

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for about 2 minutes.

11

Stir the mixture with a spatula until it becomes a silky smooth ganache, even if it appears grainy at first.

12

Pour the ganache into the prepared crust and level it by shaking the pan gently side to side.

13

Chill the tart for 4 hours.

14

Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until it reaches stiff peaks, then pipe dollops along the outer edge of the tart for decoration.

15

To remove the tart from the pan, place it on an inverted bowl and slide the ring off.
