Chocolate And Raspberry Tart Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8-by-1 1/3-inch tart ring; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a round about 1/16 inch thick. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into prepared tart pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim even with top of ring. Gently prick the bottom of tart with the tines of a fork. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Line tart dough with parchment paper, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, remove weights and parchment paper, and continue baking tart shell 5 minutes more. Remove tart from ring and transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
• In a medium bowl, gently toss together halved raspberries and mint leaves. Distribute evenly over the bottom of cooled tart shell; set aside.
• Bring cream to a boil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and add chocolate and corn syrup; whisk until smooth and creamy. Whisk in butter, one piece at a time. Pour chocolate mixture into tart shell over raspberries and mint; let cool. Transfer to a refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.
• To serve, cut tart using a very sharp knife dipped in hot water, wiping in between cutting each slice. Place tart slices on individual plates and serve with reserved raspberries.

Steps:

• Using a food processor or rolling pin, blitz the chocolate biscuits into fine crumbs.
• Mix in the melted butter.
• Divide the biscuit crumbs in 12 cases of a muffin tin.
• Freeze for 10 minutes, or until solid.
• Prepare the filling by gently heating the double cream over a low-medium heat.
• Once hot, throw in the chocolate and allow the heat of the cream to melt it. Whisk together until completely smooth.
• Pour the filling into the biscuit bases and garnish with the raspberries.
• Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours, until set.
• Drizzle over the white and dark chocolate and sieve over the icing sugar.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Spray 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray. Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom and up side of prepared pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Melt 2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate as directed on package. Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. (Pudding will be thick.) Stir in melted chocolate, then 1 cup COOL WHIP until blended. Pour into crust. Refrigerate 1-1/2 hours.
• Microwave remaining semi-sweet chocolate and COOL WHIP in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min., stirring after 2 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Cool 10 min.
• Microwave jam in separate microwaveable bowl on HIGH 15 sec.; spread over pudding layer in crust. Cover with COOL WHIP mixture. Refrigerate 30 min.
• Run knife around tart to loosen from rim of pan; remove rim. Melt white chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over tart. Garnish with berries.

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.

Steps:

• For Crust:.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt chocolate and butter in top of double boiler over barely simmering water; stir until smooth.

• Strain through a fine sieve into heavy small saucepan.
• Mix all the lemon juice and cornstarch and whisk into puree;add sugar.
• Stir over medium heat until translucent and very thick;cool just until warm.
• Add strawberries and stir until well coated.
• Using slotted spoon,transfer berries to crust and arrange cut side down with points facing edges of crust.
• (Use remaining raspberry mixture with other fruit tarts or served warm over vanilla or chocolate ice cream.).
• Whip cream and vanilla to soft peaks.
• Spoon into a pastry bag fitted with star tip.
• Pipe rosettes of cream around edge of tart.
• Can be prepared 2 hours ahead and refrigerated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Make the tart dough: Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms. Add egg and pulse just until a crumbly dough comes together. If the dough seems dry, drizzle in a teaspoon or two of water. Press dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight (or up to 5 days).
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 3/8-inch thickness (about an 11-inch round). Place dough into a 9-inch tart pan, folding the extra dough in over the edges to build up the sides. Prick bottom of dough all over with a fork; chill in freezer for at least 30 minutes and up to 48 hours. (Cover lightly with plastic wrap if freezing for more than a couple of hours.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the tart crust with foil, and fill with baking weights or dried rice or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights and continue to bake until shell is light golden, another 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until berries break down, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir in lemon juice and use a fork or wooden spoon to mash raspberries to a purée.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and egg. Slowly add 1/4 cup of hot raspberry purée to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Slowly drizzle the egg-raspberry mixture back into the saucepan with remaining purée, whisking constantly to keep eggs from cooking. Turn the heat to medium-low, and add butter and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon, about 7 to 9 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing hard on the solids, into a bowl. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then whisk briefly to smooth.
• Pour raspberry filling into the tart shell. Bake until filling is set (it should jiggle only slightly in the center), about 14 to 22 minutes. Remove tart from oven and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Start preparing the meringue: Using a blender or food processor, blend the freeze-dried raspberries until you get a fine powder speckled with seeds. (The seeds won't break down so don't even try.) Set aside 1 tablespoon of raspberry powder for garnish. Combine cocoa powder with remaining raspberry powder to use for the meringue.
• Place chocolate in heatproof bowl, and melt in microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside. (Or you can melt the chocolate in a pot on the stove over low heat, stirring constantly.)
• Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a large metal bowl, whisk together egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Set the mixing bowl with the egg white mixture into the pot above the water, and whisk constantly by hand until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm (160 degrees on an instant thermometer) and has thickened and lightened in color, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove bowl from heat. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-low speed and gradually increase speed to high, until mixture is thick and fluffy, and stiff peaks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
• Sprinkle raspberry-cocoa mixture on top of meringue. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in mixture 2 to 3 times to halfway incorporate, but remains very streaky. (Do not overmix.) Drizzle melted chocolate into meringue and gently fold until just combined and still streaky. Take care not to deflate the meringue very much. (It will deflate somewhat.)
• Spread the meringue over the hot filling, making sure it meets the edges of the crust. Using a knife or spatula, swirl in a design. Bake until lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool completely and sprinkle the top with a little of the reserved raspberry powder. (Save the extra to perk up oatmeal, smoothies and peanut butter sandwiches.)
