White Chocolate & Raspberry Tart

Fresh raspberries bring a tartness to a subtlely sweet and creamy white chocolate layer on top of a smear of home-made jam nestled on a crispy all nut and butter crust.  Easy to make and heavenly delicious.

The Tart Recipe

1 All Nut and Butter Crust Recipe (below)
1 Quick Homemade Jam Recipe (below)
1/2 C Heavy Cream
8 oz. White Chocolate (Lindt preferred, find white chocolate without palm kernel oil)
About 24 oz fresh raspberries (perfect berries 🙂 )

  • Prepare the All Nut and Butter Crust (below)
  • Prepare the Quick Homemade Jam (below)
  • Remove the pan and place onto a serving platter
  • Spread the Jam on to the prepared crust without going up the edges
  • Bring the cream to a simmer in a heavy saucepan on medium heat
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped white chocolate until completely melted
  • Allow the chocolate to cool somewhat to just warm (not room temperature or it won’t pour)
  • Pour the chocolate onto the jam and spread evenly
  • Let the tart cool in the fridge for several hours
  • Place the raspberries perfectly on the tart
  • Enjoy

Quick Homemade Jam Recipe

5 oz raspberries (save the perfect berries for the top)
1/3 C sugar
1 tsp lemon juice (or a squeeze)

  • Bring ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring to smash the raspberries
  • Let the mixture simmer until it has thickened somewhat, 8 to 10 minutes
  • Strain out the seeds

All Nut and Butter Crust Recipe

1/4 C blanched almonds
3 T sugar
2 1/2 C pecans or walnuts
6 T butter
2 or 3 t vanilla

  • Butter a 9″ fluted tart pan (removable bottom)
  • Finely grind the almonds and sugar in a food processor
  • Add the pecans or walnuts in a food processor until fine but not a paste
  • Cream the butter until nice and fluffy, a couple of minutes
  • Blend in the vanilla
  • Add the nuts and mix well
  • Spread the dough into the prepared pan, pressing firmly
  • Refrigerate the pan, covered with plastic, for a hour or so
  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • Prick the tart shell with a fork to prevent it from puffing up
  • Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, check to make sure the shell hasn’t puffed, then bake for another few minutes until ever so lightly browned
