Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons matcha powder
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and powdered sugar. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly.
Incorporate the egg and mix until the dough forms. Press the mixture into a tart pan, covering the base and edges evenly.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm. Allow to cool completely.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add dark chocolate; stir until melted and smooth.
Divide the chocolate mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, whisk in matcha powder. In the other, add peppermint extract and sugar.
Layer the matcha chocolate filling into the cooled tart crust, then carefully pour the mint chocolate over it.
Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours until set. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tip: Use high-quality dark chocolate for the filling to enhance the flavor. Adjust the level of mint according to your taste preference.

For an extra touch, top the tart with fresh mint leaves or a dusting of matcha powder before serving. If you’re not a fan of mint, feel free to substitute it with orange zest for a citrusy twist.

To keep the tart fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage; just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
