Description
A rich and decadent chocolate tart topped with fresh raspberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Tart Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2–4 tablespoons ice water
- For the Chocolate Ganache Filling:
- 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for shine)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For Topping:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the egg yolk and add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom with a fork, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Remove the tart crust from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool completely.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. If using, stir in the butter and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until the ganache is set.
- Once the ganache is set, arrange fresh raspberries on top of the tart.
- If desired, dust the tart with powdered sugar and garnish with mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Let the tart cool completely before adding raspberries.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
