raspberry chocolate tart

A luscious, velvety chocolate tart topped with vibrant raspberries, perfect for parties, date nights, or indulgent treats. This rich and elegant dessert is surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 8 ounces (225 g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • Fresh raspberries (enough to cover the tart)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in vanilla extract and cold water until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Roll the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a tart pan and press into the edges. Trim excess dough and poke the base with a fork. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake another 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  4. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming (but not boiling). Pour over chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the ganache into the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Arrange raspberries over the ganache, pressing lightly to secure.
  6. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough to prevent the crust from shrinking during baking. Use room temperature chocolate for a smooth ganache. Arrange raspberries starting from the outer edges for a polished look.
