Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 ounces good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Edible gold leaf sheets (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir lightly.
  2. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it in using a pastry blender, food processor, or fingertips until pea-sized crumbs form.
  3. Whisk egg with vanilla extract. Pour over flour mixture and stir with a fork until dough just comes together.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead gently, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan about 1/8-inch thick.
  6. Press dough into pan, trim edges, and prick bottom with a fork. Line with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, remove weights, and bake another 10 minutes until golden. Cool completely on a rack.
  8. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering.
  9. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add butter and salt, stirring until glossy.
  10. Pour warm ganache into cooled tart shell. Tap gently to level. Chill in fridge 30-40 minutes until softly set.
  11. Arrange fresh raspberries on top. Using clean tweezers, gently lay pieces of edible gold leaf on raspberries and chocolate.
  12. Optional: Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  13. Chill tart another 15 minutes if needed. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping blade between cuts for neat edges.
  14. Serve at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate and fresh raspberries. Blind baking the crust prevents sogginess. Gold leaf adds a dramatic touch but is optional. The tart can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with simple substitutions. For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and dry before each cut. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
