Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100g) chocolate graham cracker crumbs or crushed chocolate cookies
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces (115g) bittersweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed (about 3 minutes).
  2. Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottoms and slightly up the sides of your tart pans or ramekins. Compact firmly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Melt the chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate finely and melt gently over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly but do not let harden (about 5 minutes).
  4. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, whisk the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  5. Combine chocolate and cream: Fold about a third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten it, then fold in the remaining cream carefully to keep it airy (2-3 minutes).
  6. Assemble the tart: Spoon the chocolate filling evenly over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Refrigerate to set fully for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare raspberry topping: Toss fresh raspberries with lemon juice and honey (if using). Let macerate for about 10 minutes.
  8. Serve: Spoon the raspberries over each tart just before serving. Optionally garnish with extra berries or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

Use good-quality dark chocolate for best flavor. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid graininess. Chill the tart for at least 2 hours for proper setting. Fresh raspberries are preferred but frozen can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with coconut cream.
