Chocolate Robuchan Tart
Makes two 10-inch tarts
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
1¾ pound 60% butterfat chocolate

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300°F. In a pot with a thick bottom, heat the heavy cream, milk and ginger in a saucepan. Let the liquid steep for 10 minutes to help infuse flavor.
