Instructions
Make the Chocolate Crust
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse together flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just begins to clump together.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is firm and fragrant. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the Raspberry Filling
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Pour it into the raspberry mixture and whisk to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool for 15 minutes.
Assemble and Chill
- Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly over the bottom of the cooled tart crust.
- To make the ganache, place the finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the mixture gently until the ganache is smooth, shiny, and completely combined.
- Pour the ganache over the raspberry layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or until the ganache is firm. Garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.
Notes
Tip 1: For clean slices, run a sharp knife under hot water and wipe it dry before each cut.
Tip 2: The tart needs at least 4 hours to set, but it's even better if you let it chill overnight.
Tip 3: Garnish with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
