Method
 

Crust
  1. Preheat the grill to 350F. Mix together the chocolate graham crumbs and butter with the sugar. Press into the tart pan evenly.
Filling
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan or in the microwave until it just boils. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for a minute before whisking to combine.
  2. Add eggs, vanilla and salt and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour into tart shell.
  3. Bake 22-28 minutes at 350F, until the sides are set and the center still jiggles a bit.
  4. Allow to cool.
Chocolate Truffle Topping
  1. In a small heat safe bowl, pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips, whisk to combine.
  2. Add the corn syrup and water and whisk until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour over the cooled tart and spread evenly using a small offset spatula.
  4. Drizzle with melted white chocolate chips, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  5. Allow to set at room temp or if making ahead, the top will become firm when refrigerated.

Notes

Recipe yields one 8 or 9 inch tart. Place tart pan on a sheet pan to make it easier to transport to and from the grill. The sheet pan should be placed directly on the grill grates while baking, especially if using a tart pan with a removable bottom.
