Raspberry Chocolate Tart


Raspberries and chocolate make a special blend. It is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Although this dessert takes a little while to prepare, it is luscious and beautiful to present at a dinner party. Plus, everything can be done in advance.

Steps

Using finger.
Add water and egg yolk and mix with a fork until well combined.
