WHITE CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY TART
For the crust, you can use graham crackers instead of the biscuits. In that case, add to the crust mixture 3-4 tablespoons of granulated sugar. This helps in binding the ingredients together. I process the cookies in a food processor until they're finely ground to a powder. To make strawberry puree, process strawberries in a food processor until pureed, then strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. I use it to get a filling that's pink in color, but you can leave it out if you prefer. I use a tart pan with removable bottom for all my tarts.

Steps:
- To make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together crushed biscuits and melted butter, and mix until combined and moistened. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) tart pan. Place it in the fridge for 1 hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before adding the filling.
- To make the filling: Melt chocolate over bain marie or in the microwave in 30-second intervals. White chocolate is very sensitive to heat and can separate so keep an eye on it. Add strawberry puree and mix until smooth and combined. Let cool slightly before adding to the whipped cream.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form (they should hold their shape but have a soft texture). Using a spatula, gently fold half of the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, then fold in the other half. Pour mixture over chilled crust and freeze just until set, about 30 minutes (if you place it in the fridge instead of freezer, chill for longer, until set).
- To make the jam glaze: warm the jam in the microwave, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Gently spread or pour while it's still slightly warm and runny over the tart and tilt the pan to run the glaze all over the top until it touches the crust.
- Garnish with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, if you like.
- Tart will keep, covered well, for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Adjust 1 oven rack to the middle position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk flour, sugar, ground ginger, and salt together in a bowl. Add melted butter and stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.
- Using your hands, press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press remaining dough into fluted sides of the pan. Press and smooth dough with your hands to even thickness.
- Place pan on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and bake on the middle rack, until the crust is deep golden brown and firm to touch, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Set it aside and let it cool to room temperature before filling with the white chocolate ganache.
- The tart crust can be made one day ahead and covered with plastic wrap.
- Chop the chocolate fine and place it in a heat proof medium-sized bowl. Place the soften butter in the same bowl. Warm the cream over medium heat until bubbles appear around the edges of the cream and steam starts to rise from the surface.
- Pour the cream over the white chocolate and butter. Allow it to sit for 30 seconds and then stir with a spatula until the ganache is smooth. There should be about 1 cup of ganache. Let the ganache cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Pour at least ¾ cup of the ganache on the bottom of the baked tart crust and smooth with an offset spatula. If you want a thicker layer of ganache use all the ganache. Place the tart in the refrigerator and let it chill for 30 minutes.
- Remove the tart from the refrigerator and cover the ganache with the strawberry curd. Use an offset spatula to smooth the surface. Refrigerate for 60 minutes.
- While the tart is in the refrigerator. Clean, dry and chop the fruit. Decorate the top of the tart with the fruit. If you prefer you can cover the entire surface with fruit.
- Glazing the fruit gives it a beautiful finish, but this step is optional.
- Make the glaze by placing the apricot jam and water in a saucepan. Heat it up over medium heat until the jam is loose and liquidy. Strain the jam. Use a small pastry brush to lightly brush the fruit with the apricot glaze.

Steps:
- Add the cookies to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Mix in the melted butter, stirring to combine.
- Transfer the biscuit mixture to a 9 inch (23 centimeters) cake tin lined with parchment paper and press to form an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Add the double cream and chocolate to a pot over medium heat, gently stirring until the chocolate is melted.
- Pour the chocolate over the biscuit base and top with the strawberries.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours, until set. Drizzle with melted dark and white chocolate and coat with icing sugar.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a smooth and creamy texture, use high-quality white chocolate.
- Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky crust.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the tart shells until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the tart shells cool completely before filling them.
- For the strawberry coulis, use ripe, juicy strawberries. This will give the coulis the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make the strawberry coulis, you can use store-bought coulis or jam.
- Garnish the tartlets with fresh strawberries or mint leaves before serving.
Conclusion:
These white chocolate tartlets with strawberry coulis are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
