There’s something undeniably luxurious about the combination of rich dark chocolate and vibrant, juicy raspberries.
This Chocolate Raspberry Tart is the ultimate showstopper—perfect for special occasions, romantic dinners, or when you simply want to indulge in something truly decadent. The crisp chocolate pastry, velvety ganache, and tart freshness of raspberries create a stunning balance of flavors and textures.
But before we dive into the details, let me be honest - this tart isn’t the easiest thing to make, but with a little patience and some key tips, you’ll be able to pull off a professional-looking dessert that will impress anyone who takes a bite.
Why You’ll Love this Tart
Chocolate and raspberries have always been a match made in heaven—the deep, slightly bitter richness of dark chocolate perfectly balances the bright, tart sweetness of fresh berries.
But what truly makes this dessert exceptional is the contrast of textures: the crispness of the chocolate shortcrust, the velvety smooth ganache, and the delicate burst of raspberries in every bite.

Important Tips
✔ Keep Ingredients Cold for the Crust: The butter and water for the crust should be cold to ensure a flaky, tender texture. Overworking the dough can make it tough, so handle it as little as possible.
✔ Blind Bake the Crust: To prevent the crust from puffing up during baking, use baking parchment and pie weights (or dried beans) to weigh it down. This ensures an even, crisp base for your tart.
✔ Use High-Quality Chocolate: Since the ganache is the star of the show, opt for high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content between 64% and 76%. This will give your tart a rich, luxurious flavor.
✔ Don’t Overheat the Cream: When making the ganache, heat the cream until it’s just simmering—not boiling. Pouring hot cream over the chocolate ensures a smooth, glossy finish.
✔ Let the Ganache Set Properly: Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it into the crust. This prevents it from melting the crust or becoming too runny. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set completely.
✔ Fresh Raspberries Are Key: Use fresh, plump raspberries for the best flavor and presentation. If they’re out of season, you can use frozen raspberries (thawed and drained), but fresh is always preferable.
Why this Chocolate Raspberry Tart Never Fails to Impress
I’ve made this tart multiple times, and each time, I fall in love with it all over again. The crunchy chocolate crust, silky ganache, and burst of fresh raspberries make it a foolproof hit at any gathering.
If you’re new to working with pastry, don’t be discouraged! Taking your time with the dough and chilling it properly makes all the difference. And once you master this tart, you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again, whether for a special occasion or just to treat yourself.
Would I recommend this recipe? Absolutely. It’s one of those desserts that make you look like a pastry pro, even if you’re not.
