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.
FAQs
There are countless ways to decorate this chocolate raspberry tart for Valentine's Day. Consider adding a heart shaped cookie to the tart after baking. Or, drizzle with raspberry preserves. Also, you can never go wrong with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream on the tart.
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.
