Instructions

  1. Make the cocoa pastry shell by combining flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt; add cold butter until crumbly. Mix in egg yolk and milk to form dough; chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough, press it into a tart pan, prick the base, and blind bake for 25 minutes.
  3. Prepare the bottom ganache layer by heating cream, pouring over chopped chocolate, and mixing until smooth; pour into the cooled tart shell.
  4. For the pistachio layer, blend pistachios with milk; cook with cream and sugar until thickened. Fold in chopped pistachios before spreading on ganache.
  5. For the top ganache layer, heat cream again and combine with chocolate and butter until glossy; pour over the pistachio layer.
  6. Garnish with roasted pistachios and chill for at least an hour before serving.
