Method

  1. Crush the biscuits by putting them in a large, strong, plastic food bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Melt the butter with the syrup or honey in the microwave, then stir in the biscuits. Press onto the base and up the sides of a 12 x 36cm rectangular tin (or 23-25cm round flan tin) and chill while you make the filling.
  2. Break up the two chocolate bars and put in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave for 2-3 mins on Medium, stirring halfway through. Stir in the vanilla extract, then sift in the icing sugar. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold into the melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hrs or for up to 2 days.
  3. Just before serving, remove the tart from the tin and slide it onto a flat plate (loosen edges first with the tip of a small pointed knife). You will find it easier to remove the tart if you leave it at room temperature for 30 mins. Put a few tsps of crème fraîche along the centre of the tart (or around the edges if the tart is circular) and top each with a raspberry, then dust lightly with icing sugar. Cut into thin slices and serve with extra raspberries on the side.

    I made this for older teenagers that were staying with me prior to a sports (fencing) event the next day. Took no time to make and got eaten with great enthusiasm. One very polite 18 yr old man said "Tastes absolutely yummy and the more calories the better, please can I have another slice? Who here is man enough to have 2 slices?"! He even asked for the recipe. Will definitely be making this again regularly.

    This is too delicious for just one piece, but it's also so rich you can only eat one piece! Marvellous, it has become my favourite pudding for special occasions.

    Have made this several times then lost the recipe, so pleased to find it again. My son loves this especially when some Baileys is added, gives a lovely flavour. So easy and quick.

    i love this recipe. I make this whenever i want to make a good impression. I add the juice of an orange to mix right at the end which adds a beautiful depth to the flavour - who can resist chocolate and orange!

    Cannot rate this any higher! Made for a dinner party and was very impressive! Normally I'm terrible at desserts. Used digestives for the base and used a chocolate orange in Place of the milk chocolate. I'll make this again and again.

    This is seriously good and so easy to make!!!! Used digestive biscuits for base and omitted the golden syrup/honey. Also baked the base for approx. 8 mins in hot oven, cooled in fridge before adding the filling!! Heeded previous comments and added the vanilla to the cream. Left out the icing sugar as well!!! Made this the night before dinner party and it set beautifully. Was devoured by my guests. Will def make again...and again.....and again!!!! Another winner from GF Team!!!

    This was gorgeous but next time I wont stir in the chocolate so much & will leave a more marble effect as this will make the tart thicker as it will have more air

    Made the tart today and after 4 hours it still has a very mousse like consistency, and is veeery sweet!! Perhaps I will try it again without the icing sugar. Used hob nob style biscuits for the base which turned out lovely, but the topping I think I need more practice on.

    This is really delicious! I too mixed the vanilla with the cream and then folded the chocolate in and had no problems. I used the stated amount of butter, but as others have said it was far too much and when I squidged the base into the tin, I had a pool of melted butter in the middle; so I had to pour it off. Will only use 50g next time! It set really well in 2 hours, but just to make sure I put it in the cold drawer of the fridge. Everyone really enjoyed it, both adults and kids. The tartness of the creme fraiche and raspberries worked well against the richness of the tart.
