Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 pint fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Start by making the tart crust. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, cold cubed butter, and granulated sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add cold water and continue to pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and line tart pans with it. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust is set. Let it cool.
4. While the crust is cooling, prepare the dark chocolate ganache. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and well combined.
5. Spread a layer of raspberry jam on the bottom of each tart crust. Then, fill each crust with the dark chocolate ganache mixture.
6. Top the tarts with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar.
7. Refrigerate the tarts for about 2 hours to allow the ganache to set. Serve chilled and enjoy your Gourmet Raspberry Dark Chocolate Tarts!
