Raspberry Truffle Tart: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degree C). Lightly butter, or spray with a non stick vegetable cooking spray, a 9 inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom. (Can also use an 9 inch (23 cm) spring form pan.)

Graham Cracker Crust: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of your tart pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until set and lightly brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before adding the filling.

Raspberry Truffle Filling: First, make the raspberry sauce. Place the frozen raspberries, that have been thawed, in a strainer, set over a bowl, and gently press the raspberries to extract their juices. Add sugar to taste. The raspberry sauce can be made up to a week ahead and stored in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for about six months.

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sized heatproof  bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for a couple of minutes. Then gently stir until smooth. Stir in the raspberry sauce. Pour the chocolate filling into the baked and cooled crust, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, but preferably overnight.

To Serve: Cut into small slices and serve with fresh raspberries, raspberry sauce, and/or whipped cream.

Serves about 12 - 14 people.
