❤️ Why You’ll Love This Raspberry Velvet Tart

This raspberry velvet tart is a dreamy Valentine’s Day dessert — rich, creamy, and bursting with berry flavor. It features a buttery chocolate cookie crust, a smooth raspberry velvet filling, and fresh raspberries on top for a luxurious finish. It’s as elegant as it is delicious, making it the perfect treat for date night, anniversaries, or romantic occasions.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Chocolate Tart Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreos, without filling)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)

For the Raspberry Velvet Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 200g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A few drops of red food coloring (optional, for “velvet” hue)
  • 1 packet (2 tsp) unflavored gelatin or agar-agar (for vegetarian)

For Topping:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Dark chocolate shavings or curls
  • Edible rose petals or heart sprinkles (optional)

🔥 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Mix cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using). Press firmly into a tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom).
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 2: Make the Raspberry Puree

Blend raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
Heat gently, then stir in gelatin until dissolved. Let cool slightly.

Step 3: Create the Velvet Filling

In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add raspberry puree, vanilla, and food coloring.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the raspberry mixture.

Step 4: Assemble the Tart

Pour the raspberry velvet filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set.

Step 5: Decorate & Serve

Top with fresh raspberries, chocolate curls, and edible garnishes. Slice and serve chilled.

❓ FAQ

Q: Can I make this tart ahead of time?
Yes! Make it a day in advance and store in the refrigerator until serving.

Q: Can I use a store-bought crust?
Absolutely — use a pre-made chocolate crust for ease.

Q: Is the food coloring necessary?
No — it just enhances the velvet red color. You can skip it for a more natural look.
