Dark Chocolate Raspberry Espelette Tarts

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tart Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until crumbly. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then knead until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Tart Shell

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough and press it into tartlet pans. Prick the bottoms with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chocolate Filling

    In a saucepan, heat the cream until it just simmers. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in Espelette pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tarts

    Place fresh raspberries in the cooled tart shells and pour the chocolate mixture over them, ensuring the raspberries are covered. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once set, remove tarts from pans and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional raspberries and a sprinkle of Espelette pepper.
