Why not surprise your significant other with a home-baked chocolaty tart - or better yet, make it together.

Ingredient Tips

Only a few ingredients are needed for this dessert:

  • Eight pre-rolled crusts in 4" tart pans. I recommend our Sweet Pie Crust recipe.
  • Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
  • Bring the eggs and half & half to room temperature before starting the recipe.
  • Use the freshest raspberries you can find.

Chocolate Tart Filling

The success in making these Valentine's Day tarts is in the mixing of the chocolate filling. I recommend sifting the cocoa powder to ensure the batter is not lumpy. Also, use a whisk for mixing to ensure the wet ingredients are well incorporated.

Assemble Tarts

Place three fresh raspberries into each of the tart shells. Add more if you want a stronger raspberry flavor.

Use a large glass measuring cup to add the filling to the tart shells. The batter is very thin and this technique will make pouring easier to control.

Storage

These are best made the day you are serving. You may make the tarts the day before if pressed for time. If you do, place in an airtight container and store at room temperature.

What type of pans to use for tarts?

These Valentines day tarts are baked in 4" tart pans with a removeable bottom. The removeable bottom will save you much frustration when trying to remove the tarts.tart pan with removeable bottom

    These are such tasty and cute tarts. I did add several more raspberries to the tart as I wanted a lot of raspberry and chocolate flavor. Yummy recipe.

    I've been searching for a special dessert idea to surprise my partner, and your combination of chocolate and raspberry sounds absolutely divine. Your step-by-step instructions and mouthwatering photos have inspired me to give it a try, and I can't wait to see the smile on their face when I present them with these homemade treats.

    These are adorable Valentine tarts with chocolate and raspberries! Do you think it could be made with honey instead of sugar?

    I made these with the crust. The tarts are excellent but the crust is to die for.

    These tarts were really good. I like a chocolate tart that is baked versus chocolate cream tarts that taste like pudding.
