Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) cold water
  • 12 oz (340g) dark chocolate
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp (30g) sugar
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the tart crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups (190g) flour and a pinch of salt. Add ½ cup (115g) cold butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3 tbsp (45ml) cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Blind bake the crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough and press it into a tart pan. Prick the base with a fork, then line it with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, remove weights, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare the chocolate ganache: Heat 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour it over 12 oz (340g) chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  4. Assemble the tart: Pour the ganache into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange 1 pint of fresh raspberries on top in a single layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  5. Serve: Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with powdered sugar or chocolate curls for extra flair.

Notes

Cold butter is essential for a flaky crust. Blind baking prevents a soggy crust. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Chill the ganache properly to ensure it sets.
