Ingredients

• 180 g graham cracker crumbs
• 80 g unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 170 g dark chocolate chips
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 240 g pumpkin puree
• 60 g light brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.25 tsp ground ginger
• 2 large eggs
• 0 whipped cream, for serving (optional)
• 0 chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

While the crust cools, make the chocolate ganache. In a heatproof bowl, add the dark chocolate chips.

Step 6

Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set the ganache.

Step 8

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Remove the tart from the refrigerator and carefully pour the pumpkin filling over the chocolate layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Bake the tart for 35 minutes, or until the pumpkin layer is set and no longer jiggles in the center.

Step 11

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 12

Once ready to serve, optionally top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish. Slice and enjoy!
