Prepare the shortcrust pastry base
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F top and bottom heat. Grease the tart pan and lightly dust it with flour. For the base, combine the flour, sugar, salt and cocoa powder in a bowl. Add the egg and the butter in small pieces, then knead everything quickly into a smooth shortcrust pastry. Flatten the dough and chill it briefly if needed, in case it is too soft.
Roll out the dough into a circle on a lightly floured work surface and place it in the prepared pan. Alternatively, you can roll it out and shape it directly in the pan using a small rolling pin. Press the base and sides down well, trim off any excess and prick the pastry base several times with a fork.
Line the dough with baking paper and weigh it down with chickpeas, for example, as shown. Blind bake the base for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Prepare the chocolate filling
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat the cream in a saucepan, but do not let it boil. Roughly chop the chocolate, add it to the hot cream and stir until melted and smooth. Let it cool briefly. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, softened butter, salt and cinnamon. Then add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and stir everything until smooth.
Baking and decoration
Remove the baking paper and chickpeas from the base. Pour the filling onto the pre-baked base and bake the tart for another 15 to 20 minutes. The center may still seem slightly soft.
Once completely cooled, fill a small kitchen sieve with cocoa powder and lightly dust the chocolate tart with cocoa. Then decorate with raspberries, for example.
