Ingredients

3 tablespoons slivered blanched almonds

6 tablespoons sugar

1 3/4 cups (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons grated orange or lemon zest, (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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.
