I made this recipe for Chocolate Raspberry Tartlets featuring BROOKSIDE Crunchy Clusters as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #DISCOVERBROOKSIDE
Last week, I told you about how I’ve been enjoying raspberries lately and I discovered that I’m not the only one. Several of you told me that you are into them right now as well. When I mentioned it to my mom, she told me that she had just bought a large container of them that very day. So, when I needed to make a dessert to share at a ladies craft night, I knew I had to make something with raspberries. Chocolate is one of my favorite things to pair with raspberries, so I made these Chocolate Raspberry Tartlets topped with cheesecake cream cheese and BROOKSIDE Crunchy Clusters.
Almost everyone I know, is a fan of BROOKSIDE products. I often spot them in the homes of my family and friends. A couple of people have told me that they even have a large bag in the break room at their work. Lately, we’ve been enjoying the combination of textures and flavors in BROOKSIDE Crunchy Clusters. They are a delicious on the go snack that is also perfect as part of this dessert I made. BROOKSIDE Crunch Clusters are clusters of crispy multigrains with soft, fruit-flavored centers and they are covered in smooth dark chocolate.
To make the chocolate raspberry tartlets, start by making the chocolate cookie crust. Crush double stuffed chocolate sandwich cookies until they are fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and stir to combine.
Press about two and a half tablespoons into four mini tartlet pans (mine are 3 3/4 inch with removable bottoms). Place them in the freezer to set.
While waiting for the crust to set, beat the softened cream cheese. In a separate bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the cream cheese and beat until stiff peaks form. Then, mix in the powdered sugar and the vanilla.
Spoon a tablespoon of raspberry pie filling or raspberry sauce into the center of each chocolate cookie crust.
Pipe the cheesecake whipped cream onto the raspberry tartlets.
Sprinkle each of the tartlets with BROOKSIDE Crunchy Clusters.
Carefully remove the tartlets from the pans. My tartlets have a handy removable bottom, so I gently pressed on the bottom until the tartlets slid out.
These Chocolate Raspberry Tartlets are the perfect pairing of chocolate, raspberry and cheesecake! Everyone at craft night enjoyed the combination of chocolate cookie crust, raspberry filling, whipped cream and BROOKSIDE Crunch Clusters. I also shared them with my kids and their cousins after school. The kids loved them just as much as the adults did!

Hi, I'm Tonia, a lover of food and photography! Fill a gunny sack with delicious ingredients, tie on an apron and let's get cooking!
These look great but, I thought you’d like to know that you forgot the step in the recipe that says when you put in the raspberrys.
I tried to make these tarts today and icing didn’t work out. It was very runny and never became the right consistancy. Would use regular cream cheese icing recipe for the next time
You convinced me that I need mini tarts pans 🙂
Wow, these are just gorgeous!! I am also a huge fan of Brookside! I have some chocolate covered pomegranate seeds in my cupboard!
Chocolate and raspberries are a perfect combination.
These are just so pretty. The jam makes the prettiest color agains the crust. Love it! pinned!
YUM!!! I want to go to your get togethers!! Or do I need to have you all over again for lunch to try some of these?? Oh wait…maybe I could just make my own?? Haha. Except yours always look better! Once again, you knock it out of the park
Thank you Marsha! You should join us! We try to get together on Tuesday evenings. xoxo Tonia
Is there another way to make these besides using a tartlet pan? Maybe mini muffin tins?
Yes, you could use a muffin tin. The tricky part will be getting the desserts out of the pan. I would suggest using a cupcake wrapper to line the muffin tin. Thanks Eileen!
oh wow, these are looking gorgeous and so yummy!!! The pictures are just mouth watering….
These tartlets are just too cute! And they look delicious, perfect V-Day dessert! 🙂
YUM!!!! These are to die for! Can’t wait to try them!
