How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Ingredients:

2 cups good-quality bittersweet chocolate
Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups Oreo crumbs
6 tbsp butter (melted)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter to form the crust. Press this mixture into a tart pan and bake for 15 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour it over the bittersweet chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust.
Arrange fresh raspberries on top and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

How to Serve Chocolate Raspberry Tart

How to Store Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Keep any leftover tart in the refrigerator. Cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. The tart should stay fresh for up to 3 days. Before serving leftover slices, you might want to dust them lightly with confectioners’ sugar again for a fresh look.

Tips to Make Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Dust the tart with confectioners’ sugar right before serving to keep it looking fresh.

Variation
