It's a balance of intense sweetness and sharp fruitiness that will keep you guessing.
Directions
- 1
For the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, and salt until combined. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- 2
Add egg yolk and pulse until dough just comes together. Press dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake crust for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

For the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, then let cool completely.

For the ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat until simmering. Pour hot cream over chocolate, let stand for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and melted. Stir in vanilla extract.

Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust. Gently dollop spoonfuls of the cooled raspberry swirl over the ganache.

Using a skewer or the tip of a knife, swirl the raspberry into the ganache for a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix completely.
- 8
Refrigerate the tart for at least 3-4 hours, or until the ganache is set. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

Once set, carefully remove the tart from the pan. Slice and serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture contrast.
