To start, you’ll need a few basic kitchen tools and ingredients. You’ll need a tart pan, a rolling pin, and some parchment paper, as well as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, chocolate, raspberries, and rose petals. Begin by making the pastry dough, which is a simple mixture of flour, sugar, and butter. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least an hour, or until it is firm enough to roll out.
Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the bottom and sides, trimming any excess dough from the edges. Prick the bottom of the tart with a fork and bake it in a preheated oven at 375F for about 15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
While the tart is baking, prepare the chocolate cream. Melt about 4 ounces of chocolate in a double boiler, stirring constantly until it is smooth. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs with a tablespoon of sugar until they are light and fluffy, then carefully fold in the melted chocolate. Add a few drops of rose water or rose extract for a subtle floral flavor.
Once the tart is baked and cooled, spread a layer of the chocolate cream over the bottom. Arrange a layer of raspberries on top of the chocolate cream, pressing them into the filling slightly. Add another layer of chocolate cream, followed by another layer of raspberries. Continue layering until the tart is filled to the top.
To finish the tart, sprinkle a few rose petals on top for a beautiful, fragrant garnish. Chill the tart in the fridge for at least an hour before serving, or until the chocolate cream has set and the raspberries have softened slightly.
The combination of rich, decadent chocolate and tangy raspberries is perfectly balanced by the delicate rose flavor, making this tart a truly unique and memorable dessert. It’s perfect for a romantic dinner party or a special occasion, but it’s also simple enough to make for a casual dinner with friends.
