  • Ingredients

      For the Chocolate Pastry:
    • 125g Butter
    • 125g Caster Sugar
    • 1 Medium Egg
    • Dash Vanilla Extract
    • 210g Plain Flour
    • 40g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
    • Pinch Salt
      For the Filling:
    • 500ml Single Cream
    • 450g Dark Chocolate (55%)
    • 180ml Milk
    • 3 Medium Eggs
    • 250g Fresh Raspberries
     

  • Method

      For the Chocolate Pastry:
    • Cream the room temperature butter in your Kenwood using the Kbeater attachment.
    • Mix for five minutes until soft and creamy.
    • Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
    • Finally, add in the sieved flour, cocoa and salt. Mix until you have a smooth pastry.
    • Wrap and chill for 35/40 minutes.
    • Grease and flour your tart tin and set aside.
    • Once the pastry is rested, roll out on a floured work surface.
    • Line the tart ring and trim off the edges.
    • With the excess pastry, cut out some heart shaped biscuits and pop onto a lined tray and chill both for ten minutes.
    • At this point, preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/350F/Gas 4.
    • Line the chilled tart with parchment and fill with baking beans and pop into the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
    • When this time is up, carefully remove the baking beans from the tart and pop back into the oven along with the heart biscuits and bake for a further 8 minutes.
    • Once baked, remove both and allow to cool.
    • Drop the oven temperature to 150C/130C fan/300F/Gas2.
      For the Filling:
    • Heat the cream and pour over the chopped chocolate and allow it to sit for 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted - you can pop it into the microwave or over a pot of simmering water to speed up the process.
    • To the melted chocolate and cream, add the whisked eggs and milk. Mix well.
    • Pour this into the prebaked tart shell and pop back into the oven for 15/20minutes.
    • The tart will still have a wobble to the centre but this will firm up once chilled.
    • To serve, top with fresh raspberries and the heart biscuits. Best served at room temperature.
