A gorgeous-looking choccie tart from Jamie, with a sweetcrust pastry base

Serves 10-12

Ingredients

  • 200g of 70% cocoa chocolate
  • 125ml full fat milk
  • 250ml double cream
  • 4 green cardamom pods, smashed
  • 55g golden caster sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 200g raspberries (a mixture of red and golden, if available)
  • Icing sugar and crème fraîche, to serve

For the sweet shortcrust pastry

  • 125g butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 100g icing sugar
  • 255g plain flour
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla pod, scored lengthways and seeds scraped, or zest of 1 orange
  • 2 tbsp cold milk

Method: How to make Jamie's chocolate and raspberry tart

1. For the pastry, use a food processor (or mixing bowl and wooden spoon, if you’re feeling energetic) to cream the butter and sugar together. Pulse in flour, eggs, vanilla seeds or orange zest and a pinch of salt, and add little splashes of milk until it forms a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for an hour.

2. Roll out pastry on a floured surface to line a greased, loose-bottomed 27cm-diameter, 2.5cm deep tart tin. Push pastry into the sides, prick with a fork, line with 4 pieces of cling film, then fill with rice or dried beans. Chill tart case for 1–2 hours.

3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180°C/gas 4. Bake the tart case (cling film and rice in place) for 10 minutes, then remove cling film and rice and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and turn oven down to 170°C/gas 3.

4. Melt chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Heat the milk and cream in a pan with cardamom, then remove from heat and infuse for 10 minutes. Beat the sugar and egg yolk with a pinch of salt, then stir into chocolate. Stirring all the while, add milk by straining it through a sieve, discarding cardamom pods. Pour chocolate mixture into the tart case and scatter over the raspberries. Bake for about 25 minutes – the tart should still be wobbly in the middle. Remove from oven, let cool, then chill in the fridge before dusting with icing sugar and serving with crème fraîche, or simply with more berries.
