Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) cold water
  • 4 ounces (115g) semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon raspberry jam (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add cold, cubed butter and blend with a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Drizzle in cold water, stirring gently. Add more water if needed until dough comes together.
  4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press into pan and trim excess. Prick base with a fork.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place tart pan on baking sheet and bake crust for 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely on rack.
  7. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
  8. Stir in butter, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. If thick, add a splash more cream.
  9. Pour chocolate filling into cooled crust and tilt pan to spread evenly.
  10. Arrange raspberries on top, pressing gently into ganache. Brush with warmed raspberry jam for shine, if desired.
  11. Refrigerate tart for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) until set.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice with a warm knife and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, substitute flour and dairy ingredients as needed. Use high-quality chocolate and ripe berries for best flavor. The tart can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. If using frozen raspberries, thaw and drain before topping. For a shiny finish, brush berries with warmed raspberry jam.
