Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust:
1 1/4 cups finely ground chocolate wafer cookies (about 25)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling and topping:
6 ounces almond paste, crumbled into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1 1/3 cups)
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 half-pint baskets fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
2 teaspoons kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
Sliced almonds, toasted
Ingredient info: Almond paste is available in the baking aisle of most supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.
Special Equipment
1 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cookie crumbs and 5 tablespoons butter in medium bowl. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and beginning to stick together. Press crumb mixture in thin even layer onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Bake crust until set and beginning to crisp, pressing with back of fork if crust puffs, about 15 minutes. Cool crust completely on rack.
  • For filling and topping :
  • Sprinkle almond paste over crust. Gently press to even layer. Place chocolate in medium bowl. Bring cream to simmer in small saucepan. Pour cream over chocolate. Let stand 1 minute, then whisk until melted and smooth. Pour ganache evenly over almond layer. Chill tart until chocolate is cold and set, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Arrange raspberries, pointed side up, over top of tart. Stir jam and kirsch in small pan over low heat until blended and heated through. Brush glaze over berries. Sprinkle almonds around edge of tart. DO AHEAD: can be made 6 hours ahead. Chill uncovered.
  • Using small sharp knife, loosen crust from pan sides. Push up pan bottom, releasing tart. Cut into wedges; serve cold.

I found that the tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by serving it with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.
