Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, diced cold butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the beaten egg and pulse until the dough comes together but remains slightly crumbly.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess around the edges.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the tart shell.
- Arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the chocolate chips, spacing them evenly.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, being careful not to boil it. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the cream mixture over the raspberries, ensuring they are evenly covered and well incorporated.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow the tart to cool at room temperature before serving. It can be served chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional raspberries if desired.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- You can substitute the raspberries with other berries like blueberries or strawberries for a different twist.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
