Ingredients
For the Tart Shells
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling and Garnish:
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 2 cups white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Dough:
- In a food processor, combine flour and sugar. Add the chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix the egg yolk with ice water in a small bowl, then drizzle over the flour mixture. Pulse until the dough begins to clump together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Bake the Tart Shells:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Divide the chilled dough into six equal portions and press each portion into individual tartlet pans. Prick the bases with a fork to prevent puffing.
- Bake the tart shells for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
- Spread the Raspberry Jam:
- Once the tart shells are cool, spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the base of each tartlet.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Filling:
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over simmering water. Stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream until combined and creamy.
- Assemble the Tartlets:
- Pour the white chocolate mixture over the raspberry jam layer in each tart shell, filling to the brim.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, garnish each tartlet with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries. Serve chilled.
