Tips
Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream to achieve maximum volume and stability in your mousse filling.
Press raspberries through a fine strainer to create a smooth sauce - the seeds would detract from the silky texture.
Use a springform pan for easy removal and clean presentation when serving this elegant tart.
Good to Know
Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Best served within 24 hours for optimal texture.
Tart can be made 1 day ahead without fresh raspberry topping. Add berries just before serving.
Serve chilled. Let stand 5 minutes after removing from refrigerator for easier slicing.
Common Mistakes
Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
Don't overbeat after adding chocolate mixture to prevent breaking the emulsion.
Cool chocolate mixture completely before adding to prevent melting the whipped cream.

FAQ
Can I use frozen raspberries for the topping?
Fresh raspberries work best for garnish as frozen ones become too soft when thawed and may make the tart watery.
What if my white chocolate seizes while melting?
Heat very gently over low heat and stir constantly. If it seizes, try whisking in a tablespoon of warm cream.
How long will this tart keep in the refrigerator?
The tart stays fresh for up to 3 days covered in the refrigerator, though it's best within 24 hours for optimal texture.
