    These rich, dense fudgy brownies 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.

    Chocolate Desserts

    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.

    Ingredients for  Dark Chocolate Brownie Tart

    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.

    How to Make this Easy Chocolate Dessert

    • Preheat oven to 300.
    • Step 1 - Lightly grease four 4x4 tart pans and line with parchment paper.   A pop up bottom, makes removal easier.
    • Steps 2 - add chocolate, brown sugar and cream to small sauce pan.
    • Step 3 - Over low heat, start stirring the chocolate mixture, until it becomes smooth
    • Step 4 -   Whisk 3 eggs in a bowl.  Add a spoon or two of the chocolate and whisk it in.
    • Step 5 -  Whisk in the rest of the chocolate.
    • Step 6 - Pour into tart pans.
    • (Not Pictured) Top with raspberries.  I used about 6 per tart, you can use more or less.
    • 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.
    • Top with a little powdered sugar if you like.

    Dark Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Tarts

    Oh my.  What can I say about this lovely little tart that will do it justice.  It’s crazy easy.  I have already made it again (twice in one week!) and will probably make it again in the very near future.  It would be the perfect Valentine’s day dessert.  It is rich and chocolatey with a bit of tart sweetness from the raspberry.

    I found this recipe in an old Donna Hay magazine.  The original recipe served with a chocolate ganache, but it didn't need it!

      These sound really good. By looking at the ingredient list I’m thinking I could even make these gluten free for my son. Thanks Pam for always sharing such lovely desserts.

        With so little flour, these would be easy to convert to gluten free!
