RECIPE CATEGORY: Desserts
HERB: Brambles

Ingredients

  

  • 40 gingersnap wafers (to yield 1½ cups finely ground)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3 ½ cups fresh raspberries
  • 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • 1 small pinch salt
  • vegetable oil (for pan)

Instructions

 

  1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 325°F.
  2. Oil the sides and bottom of a 9½-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
  3. Grind gingersnaps in a food processor until the texture of sand. Transfer to a bowl and add melted butter. Mix together by hand and press into sides and bottom of the oiled pan.
  4. Set pan on a baking sheet and refrigerate 20 minutes to firm. Bake until fragrant, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack.
  5. Meanwhile, pass 1 cup raspberries through a fine sieve to make about ½ cup purée. Set aside.
  6. Heat cream just until boiling and pour over chopped chocolate. Whisk to blend.
  7. Stir in raspberry purée and salt. Pour mixture (ganache) into cooled tart shell.
  8. Refrigerate until ganache is fairly firm, about 1 hour. Top with remaining raspberries and chill another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

A ginger snap crust needs no rolling. Simply press it into the tart pan with the bottom of a measuring cup or a jar.

Tart can be made up to one day ahead. Adapted from Fine Cooking Issue 52.
