A Chocolate Raspberry Tart is the perfect balance of rich, silky chocolate and fresh, tangy raspberries nestled in a crisp tart shell. This dessert is a showstopper for any occasion, whether it’s a dinner party or a cozy night in. The glossy chocolate ganache paired with juicy raspberries gives it a decadent yet refreshing taste that never fails to impress.
Not only does it look beautiful, but it also comes together easier than you might think. With a buttery tart crust, smooth chocolate filling, and a generous crown of fresh raspberries, this tart feels like something you’d find in a bakery, yet you can make it right in your own kitchen.
Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Raspberry Tart
This tart is a chocolate lover’s dream, but the burst of raspberries keeps it from being overwhelmingly rich. The creamy ganache melts in your mouth, while the tartness of the berries cuts through the sweetness, making every bite perfectly balanced. Plus, it’s an impressive dessert that doesn’t require advanced baking skills.
What Kind of Chocolate Should I Use?
For the best flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60-70% cocoa. It will give the ganache a deep, luxurious flavor without being too sweet. If you prefer a sweeter version, you can mix dark and semi-sweet chocolate.
Ingredients for the Chocolate Raspberry Tart
The beauty of this tart lies in its simplicity. Each ingredient plays an essential role, so choose quality products for the best flavor.
- Tart Shell – Provides a crisp, buttery base that holds the ganache and fruit perfectly.
- Dark Chocolate – The star of the show, giving the ganache its rich and indulgent taste.
- Heavy Cream – Creates the silky texture of the chocolate ganache.
- Butter – Adds smoothness and a glossy finish to the ganache.
- Fresh Raspberries – Their tartness balances the sweetness and adds a pop of color.
- Powdered Sugar – Lightly dusted on top for a delicate, bakery-style finish.
- Fresh Mint Leaves (optional) – For a touch of freshness and garnish appeal.
How To Make the Chocolate Raspberry Tart
Step 1: Prepare the Tart Shell
Pre-bake your tart shell until golden and crisp. Let it cool completely before filling to prevent a soggy crust.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Ganache
Heat heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. Stir in butter for extra shine.
Step 3: Fill the Tart
Pour the warm ganache into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Step 4: Chill Until Set
Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm.
Step 5: Add the Raspberries
Arrange fresh raspberries generously on top. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a picture-perfect finish.
Serving and Storing the Chocolate Raspberry Tart
This tart serves 8 to 10 people, making it ideal for family gatherings or dinner parties. Serve it chilled for the best texture, allowing the chocolate to stay firm and creamy. For an extra indulgence, pair each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
To store, keep the tart in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for up to 3 days. If you’re planning ahead, you can also prepare the tart shell and ganache a day before assembling.
