Berry Choco Tart

I bought this tart pan new - I had been eyeing it for ages.   I opine rectangular tarts are so exquisite! But since store area is modest in my NYC apartment, I try to lessen unscheduled kitchen equipment.  I finally decided that I just HAD to somebody a rectangular tart pan! So I bought it, and had been eager to use it ever since.  When Wife contacted me nigh the Merry Berry Pass Hop I knew just what I sought to pass!!  A Raspberry Brownness Tart!I do not individual much experience with making tarts. I made this rustic freeform unpleasant this summer, but that is pretty some the only unpleasant I human prefab. So I did a lot of research to get the perfect incrustation - I loved one that was insincere and flaky, but that I wouldn't tally to tramp it out if you need, but you can also vindicatory push the dough moral into the pan - often easier in my ruling! You then cooling the dough before baking it - this means that you can heat the tart withdraw without using pie weights! So gradual.

The gall itself tastes almost similar a sweetening cake, with a flakier texture. I utterly object it, and believe it is the perfect container for the drinkable and the caller raspberries.

The filling of this tart is rightful transparent up potable ganache. Oh yes. It is so plushy and so pleasing. And then for the pretty start - the raspberries. I carefully lined up rows and rows of novel raspberries on top. The conclusion is just gorgeous! The ultimate suggest is a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients

For the Crust

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon (4 1/2 ounces) very cold (or frozen) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the Chocolate Ganache Filling

• 8oz bittersweet chocolate (either chocolate chips, or finely chopped bar of chocolate)
• ¾ cup cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons butter

For the Topping

• 2 pints fresh raspberries
• powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

For the Crust

1. Add the flour, confectioner's sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is cut in - you want some pieces the size of peas and some the size of oatmeal flakes. Slowly add the egg, pulsing as you add it. Keep pulsing until the dough starts to clump together.
2. Turn the dough out onto a silicone mat and quickly and gently knead the dough just a few times, until it all comes together. Press the dough into the bottom of a greased tart pan with a removable bottom. Press evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the shell. Prick the bottom of the dough several times with a fork.
3. Freeze the crust for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, before baking.
4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a piece of aluminum foil and fit the foil, buttered side down, tightly against the crust. Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Carefully remove the foil. If the crust has puffed, press it down gently with the back of a spoon. Bake the crust about 10 minutes longer, until it is firm and golden brown.
6. Let the crust cool.

For the Chocolate Ganache Filling

1. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
2. Place the cream and the vanilla in a small saucepan and heat over low, stirring often, until mixture is just simmering.
3. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Add the butter and whisk until smooth and shiny.
4. Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shell and spread in a smooth, even layer. Allow the mixture to set for about 10 minutes

For the Topping

1. Place raspberries in even rows on top of the ganache, 4 in each row.
2. You might not use all the raspberries, but better to have too many than too few!
