Preheat the
oven to 350 degrees F (180 degree C). Have ready a 8 - 9 inch (20 - 23 cm)
fluted tart pan.
Biscotti Crust: In
your food processor, place the biscotti and process until finely ground.
Transfer to a bowl and add the melted butter. Stir to combine. Press this
mixture over the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake in the preheated
oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a
wire rack to cool completely before adding the filling.
Filling: First,
we need to make the raspberry sauce. Place 1 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries,
that have been thawed, in your food processor and process until the raspberries
are broken up. Pour into a strainer, set over a bowl, and press on the
raspberries to extract the juice. Add sugar to taste. Set aside.
Place the
chopped chocolate in a medium sized stainless steel bowl. Set aside.
Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate
and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/3 cup of
the raspberry sauce. Pour the chocolate filling into the baked and cooled crust,
smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
To Serve: Cut
into small slices and serve with fresh raspberries and with any of the remaining
raspberry sauce. Can also serve with whipped cream or crème fraîche.
Makes one - 8 -
9 inch (20 - 23 cm) tart. Serves 12 - 14 people.
