Raspberry-Chocolate Truffle Tart for Two
This Raspberry-Chocolate Truffle Tart is not only delicious but also a delightful way to end a romantic meal. Enjoy the sweetness of love with every bite!
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Crust:
- 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (from about 10-12 chocolate sandwich cookies)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
For the Raspberry-Chocolate Truffle Filling:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Mint leaves
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chocolate Crust:
- In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 7-inch tart pan. Use the back of a spoon to create an even crust. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Raspberry-Chocolate Truffle Filling:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them completely.
3. Fill the Chocolate Crust:
- Pour the raspberry-chocolate truffle filling into the prepared chocolate crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Chill the Tart:
- Place the tart in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Once the tart is set, carefully remove it from the tart pan. Garnish with extra fresh raspberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and mint leaves if desired.
6. Share and Enjoy:
- Slice the tart into two servings and share this indulgent treat with your special someone. The combination of rich chocolate, velvety truffle filling, and the burst of raspberry flavor makes for a decadent Valentine's Day dessert.
