Word from cook:
A great combination of dark chocolate, raspberries and chocolate shortcrust pastry!
Ingredients
175 g plain flour
50 g cocoa powder
50 g golden icing sugar
150 g unsalted butter
3 eggs yolks
1 tbs vanilla extract
500 g raspberies

For the ganache
200 g dark chocolate
200 ml single cream
2 tbs vanilla extract
75 g unsalted butter
Instructions

A great combination of dark chocolate and fresh raspberries. This recipe is from the book “Chocolate” of Eric Lanlard.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder and icing sugar together into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in using fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks and gently mix together, then add the vanilla and combine to form a smooth dough. Cover with clingfilm and leave to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190 C. Lightly grease a 24 cm diameter tart tin.
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface and carefully use to line the tin. Cover with ovenproof clingfilm and prick a few holes to avoid pockets of air while it bakes. Fill the pastry case with baking beans and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the clingfilm and beans and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes. Leave to cool.
To make the ganache, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the surface of the water does not touch the bowl. Meanwhile, put the creaminto a saucepan and heat until steaming hot, but do not let it boil. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and slowly pour in the cream, gently stirring the mixture. Add the vanilla, then the butter and stir together.
Pack the cooled pastry case with raspberries, saving a few for decoration. Pour the hot chocolate ganache over the raspberries to fill to the top of the pastry.
Leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Serve decorated with the reserved raspberries dusted with a little icing sugar.
Enjoy it!
