No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tarts

Chocolate Raspberry Truffle TartThis No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tarts is an easy, sophisticated looking but easy to execute tart.  While especially nice for Valentine's day, it is good anytime.

The no bake press in crust is filled with a chocolate truffle filling and can be made weeks ahead and frozen.  Thaw in the refrigerator.  Several hours before serving, let the tart come to room temperature and top with the raspberries.

While I have used 4 ¼ inch heart shaped pans with removable bottoms, a single 9 x ¾ inch quiche pan with a removable bottom may be used for this No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tarts.

Chocolate Crumb CrustCrust ingredients for the No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tart1 ⅓ cups graham cracker crumbs (170 grams or 6 ounces)
¼ cup cocoa - (25 grams or 1 scant ounce)
½ cup unsifted powdered sugar (55 grams or 2 ounces)
1 stick unsalted butter, melted (114 grams or 4 ounces)

Whisk the crumbs, cocoa and powdered sugar together,until cocoa and sugar lumps are gone.

Spray the individual pans with a releasing spray. For each heart shaped pan use ⅓ cup (50 grams or 1 ¾ ounces). Press ⅔ of the crumbs against the sides of the pan and ⅓ on the bottom. Press in firmly.  As you can see, I use gloves when doing this.Pressing in the side of the crust for the No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tarts

For the 9x¾ inch pan, use all of the crumbs and press ⅔ against the sides and ⅓ on the bottom.

Yield: 6 heart shaped pans or one 9x¾ tart.

FillingFilling ingredients for the No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tarts¾ cup 40% cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (58 grams or 2 ounces)
¼ cup sugar (50 grams or 1 ¾ ounce)
10 ounces semi sweet chocolate (285 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Bring the cream, butter and sugar to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk gently to make sure butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. If it is not, reduce heat and continue whisking until all is mixed and mixture is very hot, but not boiling - about 180 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Remove from heat; add chocolate and vanilla. Submerge chocolate under cream mixture and let sit for about 5 minutes.

Release the tarts by gently pulling the sides down. If they are stuck at all, use a hair dryer arund the edges to warm them. Use a spatula to release the tart from the bottom shell. If making ahead store in the refrigerator. For how to pictures see Triple Chocolate Heart Tarts. 

Several hours before serving, fill the tarts with raspberries.No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tart

    Your recipe states 1 cup of cream, but the photo of your mise shows only 3/4 cup (6ozs) of cream. Which is the correct amount to use?4

      Hi Vin - 3/4 cup of cream is the correct amount. I changed the recipe and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

      Sure but they might be rather large. Either cut them or use them as I do in https://www.pastrieslikeapro.com/2014/07/chocolate-strawberry-pie/#.WJyOJmVh2dE.
