Raspberry Tart

The three little raspberry "roots" that we planted two years ago exploded this summer. Now we have a deck surrounded by brambles...but we love it. We don't love the amount of bees that like to hang around the deck now, but I guess we'll deal with them if it means we get raspberries like this. It has been wonderful this year. The kids love, I mean love, to pick the berries. It is hard to save any to cook with since they just eat them hand over fist.
We have had enough to to make a few smoothies, a few to top pancakes or waffles, and some to dip in nutella. Yum. That got me thinking and I swiped a few berries while the kids were sleeping to make this beauty. Delicious! Super easy...bake an empty pie crust...I just pricked it lightly with a fork. Spread nutella all over the bottom of the cooled crust. Decorate with berries and drizzle with raspberry sauce or warmed jam/jelly. Eat it with ice cream and you'll be super happy!
