From above, this dessert appears as a polished, dark mirror framed by a crispy tart shell. Dotted artistically across the smooth reflectivity are shining orbs of fresh, radiant red berries. Adjoining are streaks of vivid, ruby-red berry coulis, their swooping arcs adding an abstracted, painterly flair.

Our key ingredients are quality dark chocolate and fresh red berries to provide a refreshing counterbalance. These two together encapsulate the essence of summer while making a decadent dish for Chocolate Day.

Ingredients (for 8)

Quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa) - 7 ounces - chopped
Heavy cream - 1.27 cups
Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
Digestive biscuits - 7 ounces - crushed
Unsalted butter - 0.44 cups - melted
Fresh mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries) - 1.5 cups
Sugar - 0.5 cups
Lemon - 0.5 - juiced

Preparation

Step 1 - 🍪🧈🍽

Mix crushed biscuits and melted butter together until thoroughly combined. Press mixture into tart pan to form an even, compact base. Chill for 30 minutes.
Step 2 - 🍫🥛🥄

Heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate and vanilla, stirring constantly until you have a smooth, glossy mixture.
Step 3 - 🥮🍫❄️

Pour your prepared chocolate ganache into the set tart base and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate until set, usually takes 2-3 hours.
Step 4 - 🍓🍋🥣

Blend the fresh mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Press through a sieve to remove seeds, then refrigerate.

Once your tart is set, remove from the fridge and decorate with fresh berries. Serve slices with a drizzle of your homemade berry coulis.
