Make the Crust:

  6. Transfer dough to a 9-inch (23cm) tart pan with a removable bottom; trim edges to fit.

  2. Blend until smooth; set aside.

Assemble the Tart:

  1. Pour mousse mixture into baked tart shell.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow filling to set.

Make the Coulis:

  1. In a blender or food processor, puree raspberries and granulated sugar until smooth.
  2. Strain coulis through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
  3. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
