Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until combined. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and pulse until the dough just comes together. Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill for 30 minutes.
- 2Bake the crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prick the bottom of the chilled crust with a fork. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until edges are firm. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- 3Make the ganache: Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand for 5 minutes. Add room temperature butter.
- 4Whisk the ganache: Gently whisk the chocolate mixture from the center outwards until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache into the cooled tart crust. Gently tap the tart pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles and ensure an smooth surface.
- 5Chill and garnish: Refrigerate the tart for at least 3-4 hours, or until the ganache is fully set. Before serving, arrange fresh raspberries decoratively on top of the tart. Lightly dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
While dark chocolate provides a richer flavor and sets better, you can use milk chocolate. You may need to reduce the amount of cream slightly (by about 1/4 cup) to ensure the ganache sets properly, as milk chocolate has a lower cocoa butter content.
How long will the tart last?
The tart can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best texture and flavor, it's recommended to enjoy it within 2-3 days.
Can I make this tart gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour in the crust with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum for best results.
