  1. Prepare the pastry: In a food processor, gently combine flour, cocoa and sugar. Slowly add butter until the mixture is just crumbly. Add enough orange juice for mixture to come together.

  5. Prepare the filling: Bring cream to a boil in a medium pot, over medium heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted. Stir in butter. Pour dark chocolate cream into tart pan. Chill to set slightly. Garnish with raspberries placed around rim of tart
