Chocolate Raspberry Linzer Tart

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    Crust:
    2/3 cup firmly-packed vegan brown sugar
    1/2 cup (1 stick) vegan margarine
    1 egg substitute
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 cup toasted pecans, finely ground
    3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    Filling:
    1 cup vegan chocolate chips
    1/2 pint fresh raspberries
    1/2 cup jam, no seeds or lumps (I used cherry jam, but raspberry jam would be ideal)
    vegan powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:

Make the crust:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a mixer, combine the brown sugar, margarine and egg replacer until fluffy.  In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pecans, cinnamon, baking powder and salt; and to the mixer and beat just until mixture holds together in lumps.  Measure about 3/4 cup of dough, flatten into disk, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Press the remaining dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. With a fork, pierce the dough in several places; cover with plastic wrap, and chill at least an hour.

Bake the crust about 10 minutes of until very lightly browned.

Roll out the 3/4 cup chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.  Using a cookie cutter, cut dough into desired shapes. Transfer shapes to baking sheet, and bake until very light golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks to cool.

Make the filling:

Melt the chocolate chips. Spread the melted chocolate over the bottom of the crust. Arrange berries evenly on top of the chocolate layer. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the jam until smooth and melted. Spoon the jam evenly over the raspberries.

Bake the tart thusly until crust is golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.  Transfer tart to rack and cool - as the tart cools, the filling will set and appear less liquidy. Arrange the baked cookie shapes on top of the tart. Dust the entire surface with powdered sugar.

Serves: 8

Preparation time: 2 hours

This is awesome. For my egg replacer, I used a tablespoon each of cornstarch and arrowroot powder mixed with two tablespoons of water, per "egg". I doubled the recipe so that I could make an eleven inch tart and a 6 inch tart, and I used a combination of raspberry and strawberry jam on top.  Instead of stars, I used flower shaped cookie cutters to make the cookies on top. The tarts are really pretty! They taste great, too. Smiley

Hello! It's the next day, and after spending the night in the fridge, this is still delicious, BUT, the chocolate layer is somewhat crunchy. Next time I make this, should I thin the chocolate with some soymilk so that it retains a softer texture?

I'm glad you liked this recipe!

In response to your comment on the crunchiness of the chocolate layer after refrigeration, this can be avoided by keeping the tart at room temperature. Pastry generally keeps longer this way - refrigeration speeds up the staling process.

Alternately, if you must refrigerate it, you can add a tablespoon of vegan margarine to the chocolate when you're melting it.

Thanks for the tip! I served the larger tart tonight after it had sat at room temperature for about an hour, and you're right, the chocolate softened. I'll try a bit of margarine next time, though. Anyways, thanks for a marvelous recipe! This pie had a room full of omnivores telling me I should open a bakery!

This recipe has the most beautiful photo!  Whenever I see it on the side bar, I keep thinking, "I've GOT to try that!"

Even the little rasberries inside the tart look all aligned, perfect and everything.  So pretty!  I wouldn't ever want to eat it!  I can just imagine how much time the pictured one took to make...cutting out all the pastry shapes?! Jeez!   Did you make up the tart yourself?  The ingredients sound so simple, yet declicious.  If--I should say WHEN--I try this recipe, I'll definitly post about it.  I just wanted to gush about the picture Roll Eyes  (It inspired me to take more time taking my recipe photos!)

I've made this twice...neither time with raspberries but they've turned out very pretty.  I used cherries and the second time I used fresh strawberries but that turned a little liquedy...

WOW! This was insanely good! SOOO GOOD.  Grin The only thing I changed was that I used toasted walnuts instead of pecans. Also, I recommend greasing the cookie sheet a tiny bit, or watching them VERY closely because mine stuck to the tray and were crispy. Definitely make this tart!  Cheesy

I really enjoyed this recipe, and it really wasn't all that labor intensive - it's quite easy. I took it to work for Valentines and not too many people tried it, but those who did really liked it. *I loved it* Smiley

I hope to post my picture soon, I can't do it while I am at work...

Thanks for the recipe!
