INSTRUCTIONS
CHOCOLATE PASTRY: Combine flour, sugar & cocoa in work bowl of a food
processor. Pulse 2 or 3 times to aerate. Chop the butter into pieces
and distribute over the flour. Process until mixture reassembles
coarse meal, do NOT overprocess. With motor running, drop in whole egg
(no we do not mean the shell too) through the feed tube. Process very
briefly - do not let the dough come together or your pastry will be
tough. Remove the dough from work bowl and set aside at room
temperature until the filling is made. TRUFFLE FILLING: Place the
chopped chocolate in a medium size bowl, bring the cream to boil over
medium-high heat. Pour over the chocolate and whisk till all the
chocolate is melted. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until
set. Preheat the oven to 375F. Work the chocolate pastry with your
hands and press it into an 8" or (" tart pan with removable bottom;
try to get an even thickness. Chill for 20 minutes. Prick the bottom
of the pastry with a fork. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25
minutes. Cool completely. TO ASSEMBLE: Remove the tart gently form the
pan and set it on a platter. Spoon over pipe the truffle filling into
the shell and smooth the surface. Arrange the raspberries over the top
in concentric circles. Serve at room Temperature for the fullest
flavour. Anne's note: I would not make this on very hot days as the
filling might melt. SERVES: 6 From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
