Steps:
- For crusts:
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and ginger and process using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water and blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out each dough disk on lightly floured surface to 6-inch round. Press into each of two 4 1/2-inch tartlet pans with removable bottoms. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in, pressing to form double-thick sides. Pierce crusts all over with fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake crusts until golden, piercing with fork if crusts bubble, about 25 minutes. Transfer to rack. Immediately spoon 1/2 tablespoon preserves over bottom of each crust. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- For custard:
- Bring cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add white chocolate and whisk until melted. Whisk yolks and vanilla in medium bowl. Slowly whisk cream mixture into yolks to blend well. Divide custard between crusts. Bake tartlets until center is just set, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack. Chill tartlets overnight.
- Preheat broiler. Sprinkle each tartlet with 1 teaspoon sugar. Broil just until sugar melts and browns, covering crusts with foil to prevent burning, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate tartlets until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Arrange raspberries around edge of tartlets.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE
Steps:
- Combine the milk and cream in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the pudding mix and whisk until blended and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Pour into six 6-ounce ramekins and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
- Sprinkle the surface of each individual pudding with 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar. Gently shake each ramekin to evenly distribute the sugar over the surface of the pudding. Using a kitchen blowtorch, melt and caramelize the sugar so a thin shell forms over the surface. It's best to hold the torch a few inches away from the surface so the tip of the flame just touches the sugar. Let sit a few minutes before serving
- If you don't have a blowtorch, you can use a broiler. Preheat the broiler to high. Put the ramekins with the sugared puddings on a baking sheet about 6 inches under the broiler and broil--with the oven door slightly open so you can watch--until the sugar is melted and caramelized. This should take only 1 to 2 minutes, so don't walk away. Let sit a few minutes before serving.
- You can also caramelize the tops by heating the bottom of a metal flat-bottomed 1/2-cup measuring cup on the stove so it gets very hot. Carefully and gently press the bottom of the cup onto the sugared surface of each pudding for a few seconds to melt the sugar. Repeat, reheating the measuring cup once or twice in between if necessary.
ANNIE'S WHITE CHOCOLATE-KAHLUA® CREME BRULEE
I try to come up with at least one new dish for every holiday with the family. I decided to do a creme brulee one year, and found several recipes that looked interesting but none were quite what I wanted. I ended up combining a couple, then tweaking until my hubby said, That's it! Now when the torch comes out, everyone starts swarming! I've even found hidden dishes in the refrigerator where someone has saved one for themselves.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality white chocolate that contains at least 30% cocoa butter. This will ensure that your crème brûlée has a rich, creamy flavor.
- Make sure to temper the white chocolate before adding it to the custard base. This will prevent the chocolate from seizing and becoming grainy.
- When making the custard base, be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth, velvety texture.
- Strain the custard base through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the ramekins. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth, even cook.
- Bake the crème brûlée in a water bath. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling and will also help to create a more evenly cooked dessert.
- Chill the crème brûlée for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and will also make it easier to torch the sugar topping.
- When torching the sugar topping, be sure to use a kitchen torch that has a fine flame. This will help to create a thin, even layer of caramelized sugar.
Conclusion:
White chocolate crème brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, creamy flavor and caramelized sugar topping, this dessert is sure to impress your guests. By following the tips in this recipe, you can easily make a perfect white chocolate crème brûlée at home.
