White Chocolate Raspberry Tart is easy and delicious and the perfect flavor combination.
One of my favorite flavor combinations is white chocolate and raspberries. The first time I was introduced to this combination was when I was in the hospital following the birth of my fourth child and my sweet friend April came to visit me. She brought a darling gift for the baby but for me she brought a bar of white chocolate and a basket of fresh Oregon raspberries (it was July). It was amazing and I sat there in bed and ate every bit of it all by myself!
How to Make a Raspberry Tart
- You start with a buttery crust.
- After baking the tart shell, fill it with fresh raspberries.
- Then pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the raspberries and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the chocolate to set up. It will not get hard but will be perfectly smooth and soft.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
When you are ready to serve, grab a pretty plate or cake stand, pop it out of the tart pan and you are ready to go. Just be sure and add some pretty flowers too.
