Chocolate Truffle Tart With Chocolate Nib Crust

I love to watch cooking shows on PBS. This was a recipe that I got from watching Caprial & Johns Kitchen. Super rich dessert, so you have been forewarned. It is easy and elegant for the dessert impaired! Your friends will think you went to cooking school!

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 2  cups  chocolate wafers, ground
• 1⁄4 cup  cocoa nibs, ground
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 6  tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter
• 12  ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (80% cocoa content is best)
• 1⁄4 cup dark rum
• 1  cup heavy cream, whipped to hold a soft peak

Directions

1. To prepare the crust, place the cookie crumbs, nibs, and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
2. Add the butter and mix until well moistened. Press into a 10 inch flan pan with a removable bottom. Chill.
3. To prepare the filling, heat the cream, butter and rum in a sauce pan until boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let stand about 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
