    Bake for 9-10 minutes, until browned. Cool completely.

For the dark chocolate filling:

  • Heat heavy cream to a boil and remove from heat.
    Place chocolate in a bowl and pour cream over it. Let it stand for 1 minute, then whisk to combine. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 4 more minutes.
  • Beat eggs with a whisk. Add salt and vanilla.
    Slowly add eggs to the warm chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.
    Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve. 
    Pour on top of the crust.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until set. Cool to room temperature.

For the dark chocolate ganache (glaze):

  • Place chocolate in a bowl. 
    Heat heavy cream to a boil and remove from heat. Add to the chocolate. Let it stand for 2 minutes.
  • Add the light corn syrup (optional).
    Stir the ganache, until smooth. Strain, if there are lumps.
