Raspberry, Lemon and Chocolate Shortbread Crumble Tart

Updated: Jul 19, 2023

Buttery, tangy and chocolatey


This is a lovely summer tart. I served it as a spring Sunday lunch dessert and it went down a treat! It is perfect for dessert and leftovers are ideal with a cup of tea.

It is even better made the day before as the bottom goes kind of soft and pudding-like


Fresh or frozen berries - both work. This is an absolute winner!



Raspberry, Lemon and Chocolate Shortbread Crumble Tart

Ingredients

Serves 12 generously

  • 340g butter, softened

  • 150g granulated sugar

  • Zest of 2 lemons

  • 450g plain flour

  • 300g raspberries (or any berries)

  • 100g milk chocolate, chopped (plus a 40g to drizzle)

(notes, variations and substitutions found below the method)


Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180oC/160oC (fan). Line a 23cm loose bottom round fluted tart tin with grease proof paper on the bottom. Grease the sides of the tin with butter and flour.

  2. Cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest. Add the flour.

  3. Press 3/4 mixture into the base of a dish and squish up the sides to create a tart-shaped case.

  4. Sprinkle over the berries and chocolate pieces.

  5. Crumble the remaining shortbread over the berries, pressing down slightly.

  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until just golden. Allow to cool completely in the tin, then drizzle with chocolate.

  7. You can always place it in a warm oven if you want to serve it warm or it is equally delicious cold. Serve with icecream.

Notes, variations and substitutions

  • Berries: use any berries you fancy.

  • Flour: gluten free flour works well here.

  • Butter: real butter is best but can be replaced with non-dairy alternatives.

  • Marzipan: Add 40g marzipan to the crumble for an almondy flavour. Recipe found here
