Ingredients

Chocolate Tart Crust:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Pinch salt

8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt into a large bowl. With your fingers, incorporate the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the egg to make a soft dough. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour before using.
