Steps:

• 1 To make the pastry, in a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar and salt. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse meal and no lumps remain. 2 In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon ice water. Add to the flour mixture and, using a fork, gently mix until evenly incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a ball and flatten into a disk. If the dough is too dry to form into a ball, add an additional 1 teaspoon ice water. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. 3 Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place each ball between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and flatten to 1/8 inch thick. Press a piece of dough into the bottom and up the sides of a heart-shaped tartlet well, leaving a slight overhang. Be careful not to trap any air bubbles under the dough. If a bubble forms, prick it with a toothpick, gently press out the air and seal the hole with your finger. Trim the excess dough to 1/4 inch and roll it down into the pan to form an edge that is slightly thicker than the rest of the dough. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. 4 Preheat an oven to 400€F. 5 Bake until the tartlet shells look dry but not dark, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the shells to the rack and let cool completely. 6 To make the ganache, place the chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream just to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the framboise. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, slowly stir the mixture until smooth, then stir in the butter. Spoon the ganache into the center of the cooled shells, dividing evenly. Gently shake or tap the shells to smooth out the chocolate. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. 7 To make the raspberry whipped cream, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the jam just until it begins to bubble and has thinned, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the framboise. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. You should have about 1/2 cup of raspberry sauce. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes. 8 In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Stir in the raspberry sauce and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Fit a pastry bag with a small star tip. Using a spatula, fill the bag with the raspberry whipped cream. Pipe a rosette of whipped cream onto the center of each tartlet and garnish with a raspberry. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray.
• Crush cookies into crumbs in a baggie with a rolling pin, or use a food processor.
• Combine cookie crumbs and 4 tablespoons raspberry jelly in a medium bowl; mix well. Spray hands with cooking spray. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; spread remaining jelly over the crust. Freeze until cool, about 10 minutes. Arrange raspberries over the cooled crust.
• Combine white chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small microwave-safe cup. Microwave for about 30 seconds; stir with a fork and microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir until smooth; then with the same fork, drizzle white chocolate over raspberries in one direction.
• Combine semisweet chocolate chips and remaining oil in a small microwave-safe cup. Microwave for about 30 seconds; stir with a fork and microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir until smooth; then with same fork, drizzle chocolate over raspberries in the opposite direction. Refrigerate until serving time.
• To serve, remove outer ring from the tart pan; do not remove bottom of pan, and place on a serving plate or platter.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE TORTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line the bases of two 23cm cake tins with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave; leave to cool. Stir in the vanilla and coffee powder.
• Whizz the almonds in a food processor until finely ground, then add flour and salt, and transfer to a bowl. Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer for 5 mins, until doubled in volume. Slowly add the sugar, whisk for 1 min more. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined. Sprinkle over half the flour mixture and fold in, then the other half. The mixture will be rather runny.
• Divide between the two tins and bake for about 15 mins until a skewer comes out with a few crumbs attached - the sponges should be slightly undercooked. Cool in tin, then turn out onto a wire rack.
• Choose the less perfect of the two, then set it on a serving plate. Mash 12 raspberries and stir in the jam. Spread on the base, then top with the other cake.
• For the glaze, bring the cream to the boil, pour it over the chocolate and whisk until smooth. Leave for a few mins until starting to thicken, then spread over the top and sides to cover. Decorate with raspberries. Chill for up to 24 hrs. Remove from fridge 1 hr before serving, dust with icing sugar, and serve with vanilla cream.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, combine cookies, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until very fine crumbs form. Add butter and pulse until mixture just comes together. Press crumbs firmly into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crust is dry and set, 20 minutes. Let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine chocolate and pinch of salt. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a bare simmer over medium-high. Immediately pour cream over chocolate and let stand 1 minute. Stir gently until chocolate melts and mixture is completely smooth. Pour chocolate into cooled tart shell and refrigerate until set, 30 minutes. To serve, remove tart from pan and scatter raspberries on top.

EASY CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Open up the 2 pieces of pie crust dough and lay one down on your work surface. Dip your finger in water and run it around the perimeter of the dough. Place the second piece on top; the water will help them adhere to each other. Roll out the combined dough to a 12-inch circle and press into a 9-inch tart pan. Use a fork to gently prick holes all over the bottom of the crust. With your rolling pin, roll over the top of the tart pan to trim the excess dough. Place a piece of nonstick foil down onto the dough and fill it with dried beans, uncooked rice or pastry beans. Bake until the tart begins to cook and brown slightly, about 20 minutes; remove the foil and bake until a deep golden brown, for an additional 20 minutes. Set aside to cool while making the filling. The crust can also be made 1 day in advance, cooled and then covered in foil for later use.
• 2. Heat the cream, milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is simmering, about 5 minutes. Add the chocolate, turn off the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is thoroughly melted and the mixture is blended. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the egg into the cooled chocolate mixture.
• 3. Spread the jam over the bottom of the tart. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared tart over the jam and bake until the filling is slightly firm but still has a bit of movement in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool.
• 4. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with raspberries. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
