These rich, dense fudgy brownie tarts are topped with tart sweet raspberries and baked into cute little tarts.
They are bursting with decadent chocolate flavor.
This is the best chocolate dessert you will ever make! It's so easy that even someone that doesn't bake a lot can make these! Dark chocolate, butter, sugar, cream, eggs, flour and raspberries.
Do you have a favorite dessert? Mine would be anything with chocolate. For special days, like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or our anniversary my husband always picks us up a huge slice of a decadent chocolate cake from a local bakery.
I waned to make something similar at home. Something that had that dense chocolate flavor. Fudgy and intense. Since I rarely bake, it had to be easy too. I had already mastered The Easiest Flourless Chocolate Cake, but I wanted to try something new.
Even better it uses dark chocolate, which is so good for you!
Ingredients.
What I love about this easy chocolate dessert (besides how amazingly delicious it is) is that I almost always have the ingredients to make in in my pantry and fridge. All I need to do is run to the store and grab some raspberries.
- Dark Chocolate - Use a good quality dark chocolate - 60% or better.
- Butter
- Brown Sugar - light or dark.
- Cream - can use half and half, whole milk, light cream.
- Eggs
- All-Purpose Flour
- Raspberries - ½ pint (6 ounces) - you won't use all of these.
Step by step instructions.
Preheat oven to 300.
Lightly grease four 4x4 tart pans and line with parchment paper. A pop up bottom, (see link in recipe card) makes removal easier.
Add chocolate, brown sugar and cream to small sauce pan.
Over low heat, start stirring the chocolate mixture, until it becomes smooth
Whisk 3 eggs in a bowl. Add a spoon or two of the chocolate and whisk it in. This tempers the eggs and keeps them from scrambling.
Whisk in the rest of the chocolate.
Pour into tart pans.
(Not Pictured) Top with raspberries. I used about 6 per tart, you can use more or less. I just kind of arranged them on top of the tart.
Bake for 35 to 45 minute or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool for about 15 minutes and then remove from pan. This is where having the pop up bottom on your tart pan really comes in handy.
Top with a little powdered sugar if you like.
This is my go to chocolate dessert! It is so easy to make and tastes so rich and decadent! No one needs to know who easy this is! Just sit back and take all the credit for it's chocolate goodness!
I found this recipe in an old Donna Hay magazine. The original recipe served with a chocolate ganache, but it didn't need it!
