Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly mixed. Press mixture into base and up the sides of a 23 cm tart pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm.

Gently warm heavy cream and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium-low heat until just steaming. Do not allow to boil.

Pour heated cream mixture over melted chocolate. Let stand briefly, then stir gently with a spatula until glossy and homogenous.
06 -
Pour ganache into prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
07 -
Refrigerate the tart uncovered overnight, at least 6 hours, to allow ganache to firm completely.
08 -
Remove tart from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving to bring to room temperature for optimal slicing and flavor.

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between slices. Garnish with additions such as chocolate shavings, rose petals, whipped cream, or berries just before serving.
