Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Making it ahead often makes serving easier and lets the flavors settle naturally. Store the tart in the refrigerator and add raspberries right before serving for the freshest texture.

What if I do not have a tart pan with a removable bottom?

You can use a springform pan or a pie dish. A springform pan gives a similar result, but lining the pan with parchment makes removal easier. In a pie dish, serve slices directly from the dish.

How do I keep the crust crisp with a moist filling?

Press the crumbs firmly when forming the crust and bake until the edges smell lightly toasted. Allow the crust to cool to warm, not hot, before pouring the ganache. This creates a barrier and helps the crust remain relatively crisp.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate?

Yes. Milk chocolate will create a sweeter, softer ganache. Reduce added sugar in any side garnishes if you want a more balanced finish. If you prefer a richer, less sweet flavor, stick with bittersweet chocolate.

How should I slice clean pieces?

Run a sharp knife under hot water, dry it, and make a single decisive cut. Wipe the blade clean between slices. Let slices sit at room temperature for a few minutes if your ganache is very firm.
