No-Bake Chocolate and Raspberry Tartlets

These no-bake chocolate and raspberry tartlets are the perfect dessert for chocolate lovers.  

Rich dark chocolate combined with sweet raspberries create the perfect flavor combination in these no-bake chocolate and raspberry tartlets.  This ultra-chocolatey dessert is perfect for your next girl’s night in, book club meeting or Sunday lunch and are bound to make a good impression, or as they say in Italian, “fare una bella figura.”  Just look at how cute they are!

I rarely use processed foods, but I guiltily adore the taste of Oreo cookies. Everything in moderation, right?  So, what can be more heavenly than these childhood cookies ground finely and packed in little tart pans to create a cookie crust, which is then filled with a velvety chocolate and raspberry :: lamponi ganache and topped with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings? In two words: chocolate divinity.

Aside from their deliciousness, the best thing about these tartlets is that there is no baking required.  Just pop them in the fridge for an hour :: un’ora to set, then they are ready to devour!
