Recipe: Raspberry Quiche with Chocolate Crust

RASPBERRY QUICHE

CHOCOLATE CRUST:
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1 1/3 cups cocoa
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter, chopped
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup cream
1 pint raspberries
QUICHE MIXTURE:
1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tablespoons cream
3 Tablespoons butter
2 1/4 cups chopped white chocolate
3 Tablespoons kirshwasser or cherry brandy

For the crust:
Mix flour, cocoa, sugar and salt. Add butter and mix until mixture forms crumbs about the size of peas. Add yolks and cream and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix. Chill the dough.

Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and place into a tart shell. Chill again.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place plastic wrap directly on top of crust and fill with dry beans for weight.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 12 minutes. Remove beans and plastic wrap.

Bake again until dough is dry, but not burnt. Cool. Fill the tart with raspberries.

For the quiche:
Boil the cream with the butter. Pour mixture over the white chocolate; mix until smooth. Add the kirschwasser. Pour mixture over raspberries in the tart. Let set until firm.

Makes 12 servings (recipe doesn't say to let it set in the refrigerator until firm, but that's where I would put it.)
