Ingredients
Method
Preparation of filling
- Place the chopped chocolate in a medium, heatproof bowl.
- Pour thickened cream into a small saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until just before it simmers.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- Whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Add the butter and whisk until combined.
- Pour the chocolate-cream mixture into the tart shells and refrigerate for about 3 hours until set.
Whipping cream and assembly
- Using electric beaters, whip the extra cream with icing sugar until fluffy.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a 2cm star nozzle with the whipped cream mixture.
- Place 2 fresh raspberries on top of each tart, then pipe swirls of cream over them.
- Dust lightly with freeze-dried raspberry powder and top with chocolate shards.
Notes
These tarts can be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge. Serve chilled with vanilla ice cream or espresso. For a twist, swap raspberries with other berries or add vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
