Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Tart Recipe

I still remember the moment I sliced into this Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Tart for the first time—the glossy chocolate filling, the buttery crust, and that pop of fresh raspberry flavor completely won me over. I made it for a small get-together, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting it to steal the show.
Total Time 3 hours
Servings: 8

Ingredients
  

  • Digestive biscuits or plain sweet biscuits – 250 g
  • Dark chocolate high quality, finely chopped – 300 g
  • Double cream – 300 ml
  • Fresh raspberries – 200 g
  • Icing sugar – 1 tablespoon
  • Cocoa powder or grated chocolate – for dusting

Method
 

  1. Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. I mixed them with melted butter until they looked like damp sand. Press the mixture firmly into the tart tin, making sure the base is even, then chill it to set.
  2. I gently heated the cream until it was just about to simmer, not boiling. Pouring the hot cream over the chopped chocolate allows it to melt slowly and evenly. After a minute, I stirred until the mixture turned smooth, glossy, and irresistibly rich.
  3. Once the biscuit base was firm, I poured the chocolate filling right on top. A gentle tap of the tin helped remove air bubbles and level the surface. The tart then went back into the fridge to chill until fully set.
  4. I lightly tossed the fresh raspberries with icing sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.This step also brings out their juices, making them extra vibrant. The raspberries should be prepared just before serving for the freshest taste.
  5. After a couple of hours, the chocolate filling became perfectly firm but creamy. I topped the tart with raspberries and a light dusting of cocoa powder. One final chill helped everything come together beautifully.

Notes

  • I always line the tart tin base with parchment paper for easier removal.
  • Let the cream heat gently; boiling can ruin the chocolate texture.
  • I use room-temperature raspberries because cold ones dull the flavor.
  • Chilling the tart overnight gives the cleanest slices and best texture.
