Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Tart Crust
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 2-3 tbsp ice water
For the Raspberry Filling
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Silky Chocolate Ganache
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle in ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, pulsing until the dough just starts to come together. Press dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Pierce the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. Combine raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Let cool slightly, then spread evenly in the cooled tart shell.
  3. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it just simmers. Pour hot cream over chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk gently until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the warm ganache over the raspberry layer, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the ganache is firm.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Run a knife under hot water for clean slices.
Ensure the tart shell is completely cool before adding the fillings to prevent a soggy bottom.
