Chocolate Truffle Tart Dusted with Cocoa Powder

This Christmas, my in-laws gave my husband and I delicious Belgian chocolate truffles; they were rich, creamy, and sinfully delicious. Shortly after, I stumbled across a recipe for a chocolate truffle tart in a back issue of Gourmet magazine, and I knew I had to try it. Imagine: a chocolate truffle the size of a tart . . . the decadence. Pure indulgence at its finest!

This was the first dessert I cooked in the New Year, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I modified the crust in the original recipe and instead used the crust from this chocolate-raspberry tart. The sweetness of this crust pairs well with the tart’s dark-chocolate filling. read more

chocolate raspberry tart

I must confess: I’m not a baker. I tend to think of myself as an amateur chef who occasionally dabbles in baking. When I do venture into the world of baking, I search for a truly delightful dessert. I particularly prefer ones with chocolate and raspberries—it’s a match made in heaven. In fact, I love that combination so much that I made a flourless chocolate cake with raspberries for my wedding! But that’s a story for another post.

I’ve had my eye on this chocolate raspberry tart since Everyday Food featured it in May 2010. Whenever I opened the magazine, the tart would tempt me. So why did I wait three years to make this beautiful chocolate raspberry tart? For one, I didn’t have a tart pan, though this is easily remedied. The real reason: I had fantasized about it for so long, I thought it could never live up to my expectations. Imagine my surprise when it surpassed them!Chocolate Raspberry Tart read more
