Description
A rich, bakery-style Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart with a tender cocoa crust, a silky dark chocolate filling, and fresh raspberries on top. Elegant, fruity, and perfect for holidays or special dinners—without tricky steps.
Ingredients
For the Cocoa Tart Crust
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 large egg yolk
2 tbsp water
For the Chocolate Filling
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
1. Make the crust dough: In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Mix in egg yolk and water just until a dough forms.
2. Chill: Wrap dough and chill 30 minutes.
3. Shape: Roll out and press into a tart pan; trim edges.
4. Blind bake: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line crust with parchment and weights. Bake 15 minutes; remove weights and bake 5–7 minutes more until set. Cool slightly.
5. Make filling: Heat cream until steaming (not boiling). Pour over chopped dark chocolate; rest 1 minute, then whisk smooth. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until combined.
6. Bake tart: Pour filling into crust. Bake 18–22 minutes until edges are set and center wobbles slightly.
7. Cool and top: Cool completely, then top with fresh raspberries. Chill 1–2 hours for clean slices (optional).
Notes
Chocolate choice: Use semi-sweet chocolate for a sweeter, milder tart.
Berry swaps: Strawberries, blackberries, or cherries also work well.
For clean slices: Chill the tart before cutting and wipe the knife between slices.
Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.
Dairy-free option: Swap heavy cream for full-fat coconut cream (flavor will be slightly tropical).
