Chocolate raspberry tart is creamy and indulgent. It features a chocolate truffle filling that is lightly flavored with raspberry syrup. It is topped with a luscious, fresh raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries. Each bite is the perfect balance of fruity and chocolatey.
– 14 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped – 2 cups heavy cream – 1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee powder – ½ teaspoon salt – 8 tablespoons butter, cut into thin slices – 4 large eggs, lightly beaten – ¼ cup Torani’s raspberry syrup – 2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen raspberries – ⅓ cup water – 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed – ½ cup granulated sugar – 3 tablespoons cornstarch – 2 tablespoons cold water – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and set aside. 2. Heat the cream, espresso powder, and salt, then pour it over the chopped chocolate. 3. Add the butter and stir until incorporated and the chocolate is smooth and shiny. 4. Pour the beaten eggs through a fine-mesh strainer into the chocolate, stirring until thoroughly blended.
1. Stir in the raspberry syrup. 2. Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pastry crust and transfer it to the oven. Bake until the filling is set. 3. Chill the tart in the fridge, then spread the raspberry sauce on top and decorate with fresh raspberries.
Store the chocolate raspberry tart in the refrigerator until time to serve. When ready to serve, slice the tart into serving slices using a thin, sharp knife. For the cleanest cuts, dip the knife into hot water and wipe it dry with each slice.
You can substitute raspberry jam or raspberry preserves for the raspberry sauce. However, it will be much sweeter and less flavorful than the sauce.
– You can bake chocolate raspberry tart 3 to 4 days in advance and then add the fresh raspberries on the day you plan to serve the dessert. You can add the berries 4 to 6 hours in advance.
The filling is rich and creamy, like a smooth chocolate ganache, and the whole raspberries add a beautiful cake topping as well as a fresh and light flavor to this delicious dessert. If you really love chocolate, you might even enjoy this tart baked in a chocolate crust!
