Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreos or chocolate graham crackers)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Ganache:
- 8 oz bittersweet or dark chocolate (60–70%), finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Topping:
- 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
- Optional: powdered sugar, chocolate curls, or mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake 8–10 minutes, then cool completely.
- Make the Ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat cream until just simmering, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add vanilla and salt.
- Fill the Tart: Pour ganache into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Add Raspberries: Arrange fresh raspberries on top in a pattern or rustic scatter.
- Chill: Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve: Garnish with powdered sugar, chocolate curls, or mint. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (60–70%) for the smoothest ganache.
- For cleaner slices: warm your knife under hot water and wipe between cuts.
- Make ahead: crust can be prepared 1 day ahead; whole tart keeps 3 days refrigerated.
- Gluten-free option: use gluten-free chocolate cookies for the crust.
- Dairy-free version: replace heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan butter.
