CHOCOLATE LOVERS ALMOND TART

1/2 stick unsalted butter

9 chocolate graham crackers

2 tablespoons slivered almonds

3/4 C heavy cream

1/2 C honey

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350*

Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 inch spring form pan.

Place the graham crackers and almonds in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture forms fine crumbs, about 15 to 20 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until incorporated. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

In a small saucepan, whisk the cream and honey together over low heat until the honey has dissolved. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to just below a boil. Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust. Refrigerate overnight or no less than 5 hours.

Loosen the tart from the sides of the pan by running a thin metal spatula around the edge. Unmold the tart and transfer to a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
