Salted Chocolate Tart with Kettle Chip Crust
Report
The Salted Chocolate Tart features a unique kettle chip crust that adds a salty crunch contrasting the smooth, rich chocolate filling made from semisweet chocolate and cream. A bittersweet chocolate ganache tops the tart, creating layers of chocolate flavor with hints of salt from the crust. The tart is baked carefully to set the filling while retaining a silky texture, combining creamy and crisp elements in one dessert.
Description
This dessert starts with a crust crafted from finely ground kettle sea salt potato chips, blended with melted butter and flour, then baked to create a crisp, salty base. The filling blends semisweet chocolate with heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, and a touch of salt, cooked gently until silky smooth, then baked in the cooled tart shell until set but still creamy. The final touch is a bittersweet chocolate ganache made from heated cream and chocolate, poured over the tart for a glossy, rich finish. The kettle chip crust brings an unexpected salty depth that contrasts the chocolate's sweetness, making the tart distinctively balanced in flavor and texture.

Ingredients
For the Potato Chip Crust
- 8 ½ ounces potato chips Sea Salt flavor (that's 1 bag worth, Kettle brand
- 5 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
For the Chocolate Filling
- ¼ cups heavy cream
- 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Ganache topping
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
For the Kettle Chip Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse the potato chips until they are finely ground. Add the melted butter and flour and pulse for 30 seconds to combine. Press the potato chip crust into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan.
- Transfer to the pre-heated oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
For the Chocolate Filling
- Combine the cream and chocolate chips in a medium pot over medium heat and warm the cream until the chocolate starts to melt. Whisk these 2 ingredients together until completely smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt and continue to whisk until smooth over medium heat.
- Once smooth, remove the pot from the heat and pour the Chocolate Filling mixture into the cooled tart shell and place it back into the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
For the Chocolate Ganache topping
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan and add the chocolate. Whisk together over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and all the chocolate has melted.
- Pour this mixture over the middle of the chocolate tart and use an offset spatula to spread it around in a swoopy motion. Let the entire tart chill in the refrigerator until cold. Dust with flaky sea salt before slicing and serving.
Notes
- The salty kettle chip crust enhances the chocolate filling, adding depth and a satisfying crunch.
- You can substitute different salty chips for the crust, similar to how pretzel crusts are used in some desserts.
