Directions:Preheat oven to 350'
Combine the graham crackers, sugar and butter in a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon. Lightly press the mixture into an 11 inch tart pan with removable sides. Bake for 10 minutes and se aside to cool
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until almost simmering. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the milk into the bowl. (I pour the hot milk into a large measuring cut first to reduce spills.) Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until smooth and pour into the cooled crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the chocolate filling and chill the tart for 6 hours until cold. Decorate with whipped cream and shaved chocolate and serve cold. |
