Milk chocolate bay leaf ganache makes for a truffle-like filling with a crisp cookie crust. My perfect tart. Bay works beautifully with delicate milk chocolate, adding an unexpected layer of complexity.

This recipe makes enough dough for 12 individual tarts, but making a smaller quantity is quite difficult, so just make the whole batch and freeze half the dough for another time.
