White Chocolate Raspberry Tart is pretty and delicious and the perfect flavor combination.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
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!
Ingredients Needed
- Flour, unbleached all purpose flour is my preference
- Sugar, granulated sugar and powdered sugar for dusting
- Butter, chilled unsalted butter
- Egg Yolk
- Heavy Cream
- White Chocolate, use a good quality white chocolate bar
- Raspberries, fresh not frozen
How to Make a Raspberry Tart
- Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. You can also do this in a food processor.
- Beat together the egg yolk and whipping cream and pour over flour mixture, stirring dough. Add enough water to bring the dough together.
- Form into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough into a 1/8 inch thick round on a lightly floured surface
- Transfer to a 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fit dough into bottom and up sides of pan.
- Prick crust all over and cover edges with foil (remove during last 5 minutes of baking)
- Bake crust in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool completely on wire rack.
- Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler saucepan over simmering water, stirring until smooth or in the microwave.
- Stir in cream and butter. Remove from water.
- Sprinkle raspberries over bottom of prepared, cooled crust, saving a few berries for garnish.
- Spoon filling over berries and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour
- Sprinkle top of tart with powdered sugar and garnish with a few raspberries.
- Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Tips from Leigh Anne
- You can make this tart with fresh blueberries, blackberries or strawberries for a fun flavor variation.
- Be sure and use a good quality white chocolate bar. I don’t recommend using white chocolate chips or vanilla melts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen raspberries?
No, this tart really needs to be made with fresh, firm raspberries for the best results. Save those frozen raspberries for this Razzleberry Pie.
How long will white chocolate raspberry tart last?
Keep any leftovers stored in the fridge and they will last 2-3 days.
What other kind of pan can I use?
Using a tart pan with a removable bottom is the best and easiest kind of pan to use. You could use a springform pan if you don’t have a tart pan.
