to a simmer over high heat, whisking constantly. Cover pot, reduce heat to low,
and simmer for 10 minutes, or until agar is completely dissolved. Remove from
heat, stir in cacao butter, cover again, and set aside for 10 minutes or until all
the cacao butter has melted. Whisk well and set aside uncovered to cool for 5
minutes.
7. Spread raspberry preserves evenly over the bottom of the baked crust and set
aside.
8. Pour milk and cacao butter mixture into an upright blender. Add raspberries,
maple syrup, and vanilla and blend until completely smooth, scraping sides of the
blender as necessary. Pour this mixture into the baked crust and allow to cool for
15 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for 2 to 3 hours or until
completely cold and set—you can also leave it in the fridge overnight.
9. To serve, remove the sides of the tart pan and place the tart on a plate. Add a few
freeze-dried raspberries to a fine strainer. Holding the strainer over the chilled tart,
rub the raspberries back and forth to create a fine dust. Repeat until the surface
