NOTES
Chocolate Choice: Select a chocolate that you enjoy on its own for the ganache, as its flavor will be prominent.
Coffee Granules: The coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without adding a coffee taste. It's optional but recommended.
Straining the Ganache: This step ensures a smooth filling by removing any lumps or air bubbles.
Cooling Times: Ensure the ganache is fully set by chilling for at least 2 hours to avoid a runny tart.
Serving: For clean cuts, dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry between slices.
