Dark Chocolate Crust. Light Chocolate Cream. White Chocolate Drizzle. Cream-stuffed Fresh Raspberries. Chocolate and Berries, a classic flavor profile - simplicity at its best. I truly love making this tart. It's mostly no-bake, with the exception of the crust. If you can stir, you can (and should!) make this yourself.
Melt Butter. Put Cookie Crumbs & Sugar into a bowl. Add Butter & stir well. Crumbs should just hold together when squeezed in palm. Press Crust into bottom and sides of pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Don't overbake! Crust should be not quite firm & dry to the touch.
Put Mascarpone in bowl. Put Cocoa, Salt & Powdered Sugar into a small bowl. Add just enough cream to make a paste – this will ensure a smooth filling. Whisk remaining cream and Cocoa paste into Mascarpone, until smooth.
