1.
Knead flour, sugar, salt, butter and egg into a shortcrust dough, wrap in foil and chill for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a tart pan with the dough. Raise the edges well and cut off the top edge. Pinch small holes in the dough with a fork and cover with parchment paper and dried legumes. Bake in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until golden yellow. Remove the beans and let the tart base cool completely.

Chop the chocolate. In a pot, combine whipping cream, milk, sugar and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Pour over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has fully melted. Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in butter pieces until a smooth, glossy mass forms. Spread the mixture with a spatula over the baked and cooled tart base. Gently shake the cake side to side so the filling distributes evenly, let it cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours. Dust with cocoa powder. Decorate with hearts of chocolate glaze and serve.
