Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp blanched slivered almonds
6 tbsp sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp grated orange
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces (no substituions)
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (we have used valhrona & ghirardelli)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.
MAKE DOUGH:.
In a food processor, pulse almonds until finely ground.
Add sugar, flour, zest (if desired), and salt; pulse until combined. Add butter, pulsing until coarse crumbs form with no large butter lumps (dough should clump together when squeezed with fingers).
Immediately transfer dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Using a measuring cup, evenly press dough in bottom and up sides of pan.
Bake in center of oven until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
MAKE GANACHE:.
Place chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil.
Pour hot cream, through a sieve, over chocolate.
Stir until smooth and creamy in texture.
Mix in vanilla.
Pour chocolate mixture into center of cooled tart shell (if chocolate is lumpy, pass through a sieve).
Let stand until set, about 2 hours, or chill for 1 hour.
Enjoy!
