  1. Make the tart shell: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Blend in cold butter until crumbly. Mix in egg yolk and add cold milk as needed to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Blind bake: Roll out dough into a tart pan, prick base, and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Bottom ganache: Heat cream until simmering, pour over chocolate, mix until smooth, add vanilla and salt. Pour into cooled tart shell; chill until set.
  4. Pistachio layer: Blend pistachios with milk until smooth, combine with cream, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan; cook until thickened. Fold in roasted pistachios and spread over ganache.
  5. Top ganache: Heat cream again; mix with chocolate and butter until smooth. Pour over pistachio layer.
  6. Chill: Garnish with chopped pistachios and chill for at least an hour before slicing.
