I made my tarts using awesome mini tart pans from Wilton, which have a removable base for easy tart removal. The tart can be made in a full-size tart pan or even a pie plate if needed.

The flavors of the semi-sweet chocolate and raspberry go so well together. Just enough sweetness to the tartness of the raspberry jam, along with the yummy flaky tart crust.

To make the crust for my Chocolate Raspberry Tart, I used Williams Sonoma‘s recipe for Basic Tart Dough. It is an incredibly simple dough that would be perfect for many types of tarts and pies.

I tried to make a jelly roll out of the dough but the butter content was a little too high. Tasted great but did not hold together well.

How to make Chocolate Raspberry Tarts

The dough can be used immediately or covered in plastic wrap and kept in the fridge for a day. While the tarts cool, make the easy ganache by bringing the cream to a simmer then immediately pouring over the chocolate.

Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk to combine. This technique makes a wonderfully smooth ganache that sets up well.

For the jelly base, I used Polaner Seedless Red Raspberry All Fruit. Being seedless, it is perfect for baking and spreads easily. Not too sweet. After filling the tarts with the ganache, let them set up in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. When ready to serve dust with confectioners sugar.

My wife and daughter couldn’t stop eating the scraps of dough as I trimmed the tart before baking. They were like little puppy dogs waiting on table scraps.

Okay, awesome Chocolate Raspberry Tart or not, telling you my wife is eating dough like a puppy dog is not going to keep me in her good graces. I might be in the doghouse soon.
