Ingredients

Scale

For the Tart Crust

  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling

  • 2 Chocolove Ruby Cacao Bars (6.2 ounces total)
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt

For Garnish

  • Fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tart Crust: Preheat your oven to 325℉. Butter a 9-inch tart pan and set it aside. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on high speed for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating for another 1-2 minutes. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing for about one minute. Finish mixing and kneading the dough by hand to fully incorporate it. Press the dough evenly into the prepared tart pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the center is set. Remove and let cool completely.
  2. Melt the Ruby Chocolate Filling: While the crust cools, melt the ruby chocolate bars and heavy cream together. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between to avoid overheating and seizing. Allow the melted mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Clean your stand mixer bowl and fit it with the whisk attachment. Beat the softened cream cheese on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed and gradually add the cooled ruby chocolate and heavy cream mixture, beating for another 1-2 minutes until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt, mixing until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Tart: Pour the ruby chocolate cream cheese filling into the cooled tart crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth the surface evenly. Garnish the tart with fresh berries on top.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly. Before serving, let the tart sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ruby chocolate bars for the best flavor and color.
  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened for smoother mixing.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate during melting to prevent it from seizing.
  • Letting the tart sit at room temperature before serving improves texture and taste.
  • Substitute berries with your favorite fruit garnishes like edible flowers or nuts if desired.
