More ganache.

Top off with another layer of raspberries, refrigerate!

Crust:

  • 1/2 C Almonds, ground fine
  • 2 T Cacao
  • 1 T Coconut Butter or Coconut Oil
  • 1 T Agave

Combine all ingredients and pat 1/4 inch layer into the ring mold.

  • 1/2 C Agave
  • 1/4 C Coconut Butter*, softened

Whisk together all ingredients

Assembly:

  • 1 Pint raspberries
  • Crust
  • Ganache

Pat crust into 3 ” ring mold to make a crust 1/4″ thick. Press hard to make solid. Top with a thin layer of the ganache. Top the ganache with a layer of raspberries, then fill with ganache to 1/2″ from top of mold. Top with raspberries. Refrigerate until firm, carefully un-mold, pushing up from the bottom. Makes 1 tart, serves 3. You can double the recipe if more is needed but you will need another ring mold.

Hi Susan,

Is there cacao in the crust?

How ingenious! And so lovely! I bet it does taste as good as it looks!

Tricia March 20, 2010 at 9:03 am

Looks delicious – can’t wait to try making it.

Doris March 20, 2010 at 9:13 am

Katherine, the crust ingredients state 1/4 cup cacao. This looks beautiful and I will try it. Thanks, Susan.

Susan March 20, 2010 at 9:36 am

I added in and also just corrected the amount. :-)

Wow this dessert looks like it took a lot more time than it actually would to make it! Lovely and yummy looking, thanks for sharing :)

Catherine March 20, 2010 at 11:08 am

When the picture came up, my jaw just dropped. This looks incredible. Thank you for sharing!

Gina March 20, 2010 at 11:15 am

Oh. This looks really yummy!

Susan March 20, 2010 at 11:17 am

We completely approve of jaw dropping around here.

Yummy….

What a perfect dessert! Thank you!!

Maha March 20, 2010 at 7:43 pm

Looks great! Could you recommend something else to replace the ring mold?

Susan March 20, 2010 at 8:08 pm

Ring molds are pretty inexpensive and I use then a lot. You could possibly do this in a tart pan with a removable bottom. But you would have to change how you to it.

Sara March 21, 2010 at 6:54 pm

Fabulous! I’ve been looking for another raw chocolate dessert recipe. I don’t have a tart pan, but I have mini cheesecake pans that would probably fit the bill for this one. I may just have to play around with this one to see what the capabilities of the dessert are.

Susan March 21, 2010 at 7:10 pm

I did this one with a ring mold…the ones I use are pictured here: http://www.rawmazing.com/recipes/raw-spinach-mushroom-tart/

Ellen March 21, 2010 at 10:30 pm

Beautiful, Susan. Thank you. Does the mold remove easily or is there a trick to removing the mold for the picture perfect tart? We have thimble berries growing wild here. I think I will try those!

Susan March 21, 2010 at 10:40 pm

Just go slowly and all will be fine.

Dawn Hutchins March 22, 2010 at 2:04 pm

How very decadent. Beautiful!

Ksenia March 25, 2010 at 12:50 pm

Oh, I miss raspberries so much :( They’re impossible to find in Spain!
Your recipe sounds amazing :D

Belle March 25, 2010 at 11:10 pm

This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it…

Mariam April 16, 2010 at 12:38 am

How great and unintimidating is this! i’m making this soon.

Emilia April 26, 2010 at 8:15 am

I just made these for my boyfriend and mother in law. They were a huge, enormous, tasty hit.

I only used one layer of ganache because it was very rich. And because I didn’t have a little ring mold, I used a muffin pan and lined the bottoms with little circles of wax paper.
