It’s February 1st and that means some of my favorite food blogging friends and I are sharing recipes today around the same theme! Last month we shared some of our best sliders recipes to help you get ready for Game Day. But for February, we thought chocolate desserts would be appropriate, given the upcoming lover’s holiday! Scroll all the way past the recipe to see what everybody else came up with! But first, a little about this raspberry chocolate tart! For even more chocolate desserts, be sure to check out our Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes, Classic French Chocolate Macarons, and Frosted Brownies. When it comes to chocolate, I actually typically prefer it combined with either nuts or fruit. Like in these Chocolate Covered Strawberries that I shared last year, which are another great Valentine’s Day idea for your sweetie. Raspberries and chocolate were made for each other. The bright, sweet-tart flavor and juicy texture of the raspberries just bursts in your mouth with each rich, smooth, deeply chocolatey bite of this tart that couldn’t be simpler to make. My girls were groaning with delight while devouring their slices of this dessert after I finished photographing it. I made one large tart that I sliced into individual wedges for serving. But if you have individual size tart pans you could make tartlets out of this same recipe and they would be so sweet!
How to Make a Raspberry Chocolate Tart
This Raspberry Chocolate Tart is really two parts, but they couldn’t be simpler. First is an Oreo cookie crust that is made by combining finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs with a little bit of melted butter and pressing it into a tart pan. There is no need to scrape out the cream filling in the middle of the Oreos before crushing them. It actually helps the crust bind together better than using plain chocolate wafer cookies. I find that using a glass or smooth-bottomed measuring cup works best to press the crust into a tart pan, making sure the crust goes up the sides of the pan. If you don’t own a tart pan, you could absolutely just use a pie pan instead. After a quick bake in the oven, the crust can cool while you prepare the chocolate ganache filling, which is literally just chopped chocolate and hot cream that are stirred together until the chocolate is melted and a smooth ganache has been created. You could just use chocolate chips if that is what you have on hand, although with an intensely chocolate dessert like this, I prefer to use the highest quality chocolate I can get and I like dark chocolate over milk chocolate for this raspberry chocolate tart.
