This decadent dessert requires plain flour, cocoa powder, unsalted butter, icing sugar, eggs, salt, high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), double cream, caster sugar, fresh raspberries, and vanilla extract. The combination creates a perfect balance of rich chocolate and tangy berries.
Learn how to cook Raspberry Chocolate Pie by first creating a chocolate pastry crust that's blind-baked until crisp, then filled with a silky chocolate ganache that's poured over fresh raspberries. The tart is then chilled until set and decorated with additional berries for a professional finish that balances rich chocolate flavours with bright berry notes.
Yes, the chocolate pastry crust can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. You can either refrigerate the unrolled dough (well-wrapped) or blind-bake the crust and store it at room temperature in an airtight container until needed, making your dessert preparation more manageable.
For the silkiest chocolate ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate with 65-70% cocoa content. The higher cocoa percentage creates depth of flavour, while the quality ensures proper melting and a smooth texture. Avoid chocolate chips as they contain stabilisers that can prevent proper melting.
To prevent shrinkage, thoroughly chill the pastry dough before rolling and after lining the tart tin (at least 30 minutes). Use pie weights during blind baking and avoid overworking the dough which develops gluten. For extra protection, extend the pastry slightly above the tin rim.
